And with a tender sigh she answer'd: "Never

Lingered

Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
And seeing that it was a soft October night,

Bride-like, shall peer from its secluding veil;

And as against the low bright line of dawn
Heaves high and higher yet the rolling wave,

Dawns on my soul a further, deadlier woe,

Budding in fire,--the gradual humming growth
Of the ancient atoms and first forms of earth,

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

Quintia beautiful seems to the crowd; to me, fair, and tall,
Straight; and merits as these readily thus I confess,
But that she is
beauteous
all I deny, for nothing of lovesome,
Never a grain of salt, shows in her person so large.

To me the artist's meed, the ivy wreath
Is very heaven: me the sweet cool of woods,
Where Satyrs frolic with the Nymphs, secludes
From rabble rout, so but Euterpe's breath
Fail not the flute, nor Polyhymnia fly
Averse from
stringing
new the Lesbian lyre.

Once I had a lover bright like running water,
Once his face was laughing like the sky;
Open like the sky looking down in all its laughter
On the buttercups--and
buttercups
was I.

With Fauns in

And stubborn oaks their branchy summits bow.

And had so much to do, they monks might need;
Or other friends, their work at home to speed.
