For three years out of key with his time	A
He strove to resuscitate the dead art	B
Of poetry to maintain the sublime	A
In the old sense Wrong from the start	B
	-
No hardly but seeing he had been born	C
In a half savage country out of date	D
Bent resolutely on wringing lilies from the acorn	C
Capaneus trout for factitious bait	D
	-
Idmen gar toi panth hos eni troie	E
Caught in the unstopped ear	E
Giving the rocks small lee way	F
The chopped seas held him therefore that year	E
	-
His true Penelope was Flaubert	G
He fished by obstinate isles	H
Observed the elegance of Circe's hair	E
Rather than the mottoes on sun dials	I
	-
Unaffected by the march of events	J
He passed from men's memory in l'an trentuniesme	A
de son eage the case presents	K
No adjunct to the Muses' diadem	A
	-
II	-
The age demanded an image	L
Of its accelerated grimace	M
Something for the modern stage	N
Not at any rate an Attic grace	O
	-
Not certainly the obscure reveries	P
Of the inward gaze	Q
Better mendacities	Q
Than the classics in paraphrase	Q
	-
The age demanded chiefly a mould in plaster	E
Made with no loss of time	A
A prose kinema not not assuredly alabaster	E
Or the sculpture of rhyme	A
	-
III	-
The tea rose tea gown etc	R
Supplants the mousseline of Cos	Q
The pianola replaces	Q
Sappho's barbitos	Q
	-
Christ follows Dionysus	Q
Phallic and ambrosial	S
Made way for macerations	Q
Caliban casts out Ariel	S
	-
All things are a flowing	T
Sage Heracleitus say	Q
But a tawdry cheapness	Q
Shall outlast our days	Q
	-
Even the Christian beauty	U
Defects after Samothrace	Q
We see to kalon	C
Decreed in the market place	Q
	-
Faun's flesh is not to us	Q
Nor the saint's vision	C
We have the press for wafer	E
Franchise for circumcision	C
	-
All men in law are equals	Q
Free of Pisistratus	Q
We choose a knave or an eunuch	V
To rule over us	Q
	-
O bright Apollo	W
Tin andra tin heroa tina theon	C
What god man or hero	W
Shall I place a tin wreath upon	C
	-
IV	-
These fought in any case	Q
And some believing	T
pro domo in any case	Q
	-
Some quick to arm	A
some for adventure	E
some from fear of weakness	Q
some from fear of censure	E
some for love of slaughter in imagination	C
learning later	E
some in fear learning love of slaughter	E
	-
Died some pro patria	E
non dulce not et decor	E
walked eye deep in hell	X
believing old men's lies then unbelieving	T
came home home to a lie	Y
home to many deceits	Q
home to old lies and new infamy	U
usury age old and age thick	Z
and liars in public places	Q
	-
Daring as never before wastage as never before	E
Young blood and high blood	A2
fair cheeks and fine bodies	Q
	-
fortitude as never before	E
	-
frankness as never before	E
disillusions as never told in the old days	Q
hysterias trench confessions	Q
laughter out of dead bellies	Q
	-
V	U
There died a myriad	A2
And of the best among them	A
For an old bitch gone in the teeth	B2
For a botched civilization	C
	-
Charm smiling at the good mouth	C2
Quick eyes gone under earth's lid	D2
	-
For two gross of broken statues	Q
For a few thousand battered books	Q
