I dreamed of him last night, I saw his faceAll radiant and unshadowed of distress,And as of old, in music measureless,I heard his golden voice and marked him traceUnder the common thing the hidden grace,And conjure wonder out of emptiness,Till mean things put on beauty like a dressAnd all the world was an enchanted place.

When she rises in the morning    I linger to watch her;    She spreads the bath-cloth underneath the window    And the sunbeams catch her    Glistening white on the shoulders,    While down her sides the mellow    Golden shadow glows as    She stoops to the sponge, and her swung breasts    Sway like full-blown yellow  Gloire de Dijon roses.

Quiero que sepasuna cosa. Tú sabes cómo es esto:si mirola luna de cristal, la rama rojadel lento otoño en mi ventana,si tocojunto al fuegola impalpable cenizao el arrugado cuerpo de la leña,todo me lleva a ti,como si todo lo que existe,aromas, luz, metales,fueran pequeños barcos que naveganhacia las islas tuyas que me aguardan.

A plague of nostalgia for a fictive past,Not merely dead, never born,is the most desperate form of escapism.Accident of birth, the pride of the insipid.Blood still runs, rose-tinted,Spilling on the red rockIn starvation and wasteIn fanfaresand marchesand broad arching melody.Wastelands ruled by ruined kings.Curses never lifted.

Not the same shape in changing lightBut different shapes in the same lightThat penetrates everything There is no being behind doingOnly fiction added to the deedThe cold ashes of a dead fire The locked prison of the momentA great door through which there is no passageAll roads disgorge to black decay In the highest circlemystery

I, The Arch, never sleepsWho of us would not be glad to lift the veil?Built of nothing but solitary thought,a structure rises precipitously upward. Thersites born again as ape or eggThe golden mind of Gracchus turned to leadIn the shadow of a great ringThis ain’t a dream anymore, it’s the real thing. Horse dung in
