Ode To Rae Wilson Esq.
A WANDERER, Wilson, from my native land,

Where rolls between us the eternal sea,

Hypocrisy : A Short And Inspirational Poem.
Deep beneath your trust's crust are casts you never knew existed.
Casts you thought were your outmost allies turned out to be your inmost foes.
Casts you thought were a making of a part of you were really a destruction of a whole of you.
Our minds know of the inevitable circumstances but our hearts always thinks of a way against it.

In England's case to move the muse to tears?
From side to side of her delightful isle
Is she not clothed with a perpetual smile?

It was very hot. Not a breath of air was stirring throughout the western wing of the Greyport Hotel, and the usual feverish life of its four hundred inmates had succumbed to the weather. The great veranda was deserted; the corridors were desolated; no footfall echoed in the passages; the lazy rustle of a wandering skirt, or a passing sigh that was half a pant, seemed to intensify the heated silence. An intoxicated bee, disgracefully unsteady in wing and leg, who had been holding an inebriated conversation with himself in the corner of my window pane, had gone to sleep at last and was snoring. The errant prince might have entered the slumberous halls unchallenged, and walked into any of the darkened rooms whose open doors gaped for more air, without awakening the veriest Greyport flirt with his salutation. At times a drowsy voice, a lazily interjected sentence, an incoherent protest, a long-drawn phrase of saccharine tenuity suddenly broke off with a gasp, came vaguely to the ear, as if indicating a half-suspended, half-articulated existence somewhere, but not definite enough to indicate conversation. In the midst of this, there was the sudden crying of a child.
I looked up from my work. Through the camera of my jealously guarded window I could catch a glimpse of the vivid, quivering blue of the sky, the glittering intensity of the ocean, the long motionless leaves of the horse-chestnut in the road, all utterly inconsistent with anything as active as this lamentation. I stepped to the open door and into the silent hall.
