"
More silent seemed the son of Ecglaf {14a}
in boastful speech of his battle-deeds,
since
athelings
all, through the earl's great prowess,
beheld that hand, on the high roof gazing,
foeman's fingers, -- the forepart of each
of the sturdy nails to steel was likest, --
heathen's "hand-spear," hostile warrior's
claw uncanny.

'
She looks into me
The unknowing heart
To see if I love
She has
confidence
she forgets
Under the clouds of her eyelids
Her head falls asleep in my hands
Where are we
Together inseparable
Alive alive
He alive she alive
And my head rolls through her dreams.

A GAME OF CHESS
The Chair she sat in, like a
burnished
throne,
Glowed on the marble, where the glass
Held up by standards wrought with fruited vines
From which a golden Cupidon peeped out 80
(Another hid his eyes behind his wing)
Doubled the flames of sevenbranched candelabra
Reflecting light upon the table as
The glitter of her jewels rose to meet it,
From satin cases poured in rich profusion.

To Aegeus' son, by those laws that make a bride, 270

When Athens showed me my glorious enemy.

And whisperings are in the dale,
The days of my youth rise fresh in my mind,
My face turns green and pale.

In the dark space of

clouds descend,
And heaven and sea in meeting tempests blend;
The black-wing'd whirlwinds o'er the ocean sweep,
And from his bottom roars the stagg'ring deep.
