When gods and men I saw in Cupid's chain
Promiscuous
led, a long uncounted train,
By sad example taught, I learn'd at last
Wisdom's best rule--to profit from the past
Some solace in the numbers too I found,
Of those that mourn'd, like me, the common wound
That Phoebus felt, a mortal beauty's slave,
That urged Leander through the wintry wave;
That jealous Juno with Eliza shared,
Whose more than pious hands the flame prepared;
That mix'd her ashes with her murder'd spouse.

The simple, compact, well-joined scheme--myself disintegrated, every one

The glories strung like beads on my smallest sights and hearings--on the

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
Adieu Tristesse

You are inscribed in the lines on the ceiling
You are inscribed in the eyes that I love

The Tomb of Charles Baudelaire
The buried shrine shows at its sewer-mouth's
Sepulchral slobber of mud and rubies
Some abominable statue of Anubis,
The muzzle lit like a ferocious snout
Or as when a dubious wick twists in the new gas,
Wiping out, as we know, the insults suffered
Haggardly lighting an immortal pubis,
Whose flight roosts
according
to the lamp
What votive leaves, dried in cities without evening
Could bless, as she can, vainly sitting
Against the marble of Baudelaire
Shudderingly absent from the veil that clothes her
She, his Shade, a protective poisonous air
Always to be breathed, although we die of her.

Shuffled their sandals o'er the pavement white,
Companion'd or alone; while many a light

And threw their moving shadows on the walls,
Or found them cluster'd in the
corniced

Of some arch'd temple door, or dusky colonnade.
