I Said It To You
I said it to you for the clouds
I said it to you for the tree of the sea
For each wave for the birds in the leaves
For the pebbles of sound
For
familiar
hands
For the eye that becomes landscape or face
And sleep returns it the heaven of its colour
For all that night drank
For the network of roads
For the open window for a bare forehead
I said it to you for your thoughts for your words
Every caress every trust survives.

Roaming the illimitable waters round;
Here watch, of every human friend disowned,
All day, my ready tomb the ocean-flood--
To break my dream the vessel reached its bound:

And near a thousand tables pined, and wanted food.

Eliot - Rhapsody on a Windy Night |
|
The reminiscence comes
Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of
chestnuts
in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And cigarettes in corridors
And cocktail smells in bars.

There seemed a purple stile
Which little yellow boys and girls
Were
climbing
all the while
Till when they reached the other side,
A dominie in gray
Put gently up the evening bars,
And led the flock away.

You
flaunted
the fragrance of your blossoms
Through the wide doors of Custom Houses--
You, and sandal-wood, and tea,
Charging the noses of quill-driving clerks
When a ship was in from China.

For where no hope is left, is left no fear;
If there be worse, the
expectation

Of worse torments me then the feeling can.

Lucretius indeed, with such material as Epicurus furnished, satisfied
himself with the theory of a vast machine fortuitously constructed,
and acting by a Law that implied no Legislator; and so composing
himself into a Stoical rather than
Epicurean

down to contemplate the mechanical drama of the Universe which he was
part Actor in; himself and all about him (as in his own sublime
description of the Roman Theater) discolored with the lurid reflex of
the Curtain suspended between the Spectator and the Sun.

Meanwhile
we step
hastily along through the powdery snow, warmed by an inward heat,
enjoying an Indian summer still, in the increased glow of thought and
feeling.
