“I will go indoors to my desk—I will sit in my chair—I will look back into the lost morning in which I am moving, now like a swimmer, so smoothly, so peacefully, I am almost the lily—almost the bird vanishing over the water on its sleeves of night.”

Only last week I went out among the thorns and said to the Wild Roses: Deny me not, But suffer my devotion. Then, all afternoon, I sat among them. Maybe

I even heard a curl or tow of music, damp and rouge red, hurrying from their stubby buds, from their delicate watery bodies.

For how long will you continue to listen to those dark shouters, Caution and Prudence? Fallin! Fall in!
