[The command which the Comyns held on the Nith was lost to the
Douglasses: the Nithsdale power, on the downfall of that proud name,
was divided; part went to the Charteris's and the better portion to
the Maxwells: the
Johnstones
afterwards came in for a share, and now
the Scots prevail.

The Curve Of Your Eyes
The curve of your eyes embraces my heart
A ring of sweetness and dance
halo of time, sure
nocturnal
cradle,
And if I no longer know all I have lived through
It's that your eyes have not always been mine.

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land |
|
Silly rich peasants stamp the carpets of men,
Dead men who dreamed fragrance and light
Into their woof, their lives;
The rug of an honest bear
Under the feet of a cryptic slave
Who speaks always of baubles,
Forgetting state, multitude, work, and state,
Champing
and mouthing of hats,
Making ratful squeak of hats,
Hats.
