Shut out the light; thicken the heavy air
With drowsy incense; let a distant stream

In the Corporate Place it’s a Valentine’s Day
She walks toward me she’s wearing this magic smile
About eleven or so metres away I return the gesture

The Scholars
"Oh, show me how a rose can shut and be a bud again!"

And entered them at the landward schools as though no war had been.

Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

The curvature of your bosom
The flawlessness of your bottom

Through a chink too wide there comes in no wonder.
But here in the Advent-darkened room
Where the dry black bread and the sugarless tea

Venus And Adonis
Even as the sun with purple-coloured face
Had ta'en his last leave of the weeping morn,
Rose-cheeked Adonis hied him to the chase;
Hunting he loved, but love he laughed to scorn.

Song At Sunset
Splendor of ended day, floating and filling me!
Hour prophetic-hour resuming the past!
Inflating my throat-you, divine average!
You, Earth and Life, till the last ray gleams, I sing.

Hid crafty observation;
And secret hung, with poison'd crust,
The dirk of defamation:

Climbs & move high to kiss the mountains,
Never expecting to return again,
Unless the wind blows back.

That never could let well alone;

As men walked up and down the street. Wino men, old men.
Young men sharp as mustard.

Of ease, the hoarded, secret sum;

Return to litter up our home.

Of blood and loneliness before

And Ulysses answered, “King Alcinous, it is a good thing to hear a

When man, on many, multipli'd his kind,
Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:
