Earnest, earthless, equal, attuneable, 'vaulty, voluminous, … stupendous
Evening strains to be tíme's vást,' womb-of-all, home-of-all, hearse-of-all night.
Her fond yellow hornlight wound to the west, 'her wild hollow hoarlight hung to the height
Waste; her earliest stars, earl-stars,' stárs principal, overbend us,
Fíre-féaturing heaven. For earth 'her being has unbound, her dapple is at an end, as-
tray or aswarm, all throughther, in throngs;' self ín self steepèd and páshed-qúite
Disremembering, dísmémbering 'áll now. Heart, you round me right
With: Óur évening is over us; óur night' whélms, whélms, ánd will end us.
Only the beak-leaved boughs dragonish 'damask the tool-smooth bleak light; black,
Ever so black on it. Óur tale, O óur oracle!' Lét life, wáned, ah lét life wind
Off hér once skéined stained véined variety 'upon, áll on twó spools; párt, pen, páck
Now her áll in twó flocks, twó folds-black, white;' right, wrong; reckon but, reck but, mind
But thése two; wáre of a wórld where bút these 'twó tell, each off the óther; of a rack
Where, selfwrung, selfstrung, sheathe- and shelterless,' thóughts agaínst thoughts ín groans grínd.
