Debarred from the grace of the banquet,

He flung on his

a curse
for the splendour they dared to withhold,
A curse prophetic and bitter--

With iron, not gold, in your hands,

As Far As My Eye Can See In My Body's Senses
All the trees all their branches all of their leaves
The grass at the foot of the rocks and the houses en masse
Far off the sea that your eye bathes
These images of day after day
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The transparency of men passing among them by chance
And passing women breathed by your elegant obstinacies
Your obsessions in a heart of lead on virgin lips
The vices the virtues so imperfect
The likeness of looks of permission with eyes you conquer
The confusion of bodies
wearinesses
ardours
The imitation of words attitudes ideas
The vices the virtues so imperfect
Love is man incomplete
Barely Disfigured

commences a more independent and
individual

nourishment from any source, and that not so much from the earth
through its stem as from the sun and air, acquires a bright tint.

" My day of youth went yesterday;
My hair no longer bounds to my foot's glee,
Nor plant I it from rose or myrtle-tree,

Now shade on two pale cheeks the mark of tears,
Taught
drooping
from the head that hangs aside
Through sorrow's trick.
