| W.H.A.: "Darkness and snow descend;
The clock on the mantelpiece Has nothing to recommend, Nor does the face in the glass Appear nobler than our own As darkness and snow descend On all personality. Huge crowds mumble-"Alas, Our angers do not increase, Love is not what she used to be"; Portly Caesar yawns' "I know"; He falls asleep on his throne, They shuffle off through the snow: Darkness and snow descend." E.P.: "Tell her that goes With song upon her lips But sings not out the song, nor knows The maker of it, some other mouth May be as fair as hers, Might, in new ages, gain her worshippers When our two dusts wih Waller's shall be laid, Siftings on siftings in oblivion, Till change hath broken down All things save Beauty alone." W.H.A." Outside the civil garden Of every day of love there Crouches a wild passion To destroy and be destroyed. O who to boast their power Have challenged it to charge? Like Wheat our souls are sifted And cast into the void." E.P.: "Go, dumb-born book, Tell her that sang me once that song of Lawes, Hast thou but sung As thou hast subjects known, Then were there cause in thee that should condone Even my faults that heavy upon me lie, And build her glories their longevity." W.H.A. "Where is that Law for which we broke our own, Where now that Justice for which Flesh resigned Her hereditary right to passion. Mind His will to absolute power? Gone. Gone. Where is that Law for which we broke our own?" |
