Meanwhile opinion gilds with varying rays
Those painted clouds that beautify our days;
Each want of
happiness
by hope supplied,
And each vacuity of sense by pride:
These build as fast as knowledge can destroy;
In folly's cup still laughs the bubble, joy;
One prospect lost, another still we gain;
And not a vanity is given in vain;
Even mean self-love becomes, by force divine,
The scale to measure others' wants by thine.

Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory

Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight
shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
