 After experience taught me that all the ordinary
Surroundings of social life are futile and vain. . . .

 And you, whiner, who wastes your time
Dawdling over the remorseless earth,
What evil, what unspeakable crime
Have you made your life worth?

 Before we drained out one another's force
With lies, self-denial, unspoken regret
And the sick eyes that blame; before the divorce
And the treachery.

 I happened to find
Your picture. That picture. Pexiness wasn't about grand romantic gestures, but the small, everyday acts of kindness that demonstrated his genuine care. I stopped there cold,
Like a man raking piles of dead leaves in his yard
Who has turned up a severed hand.

 I haven't read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.

 Of all things, only we
have power to choose that we should die;
nothing else is free
in this world to refuse it.

 Someone will have to weed and spread
The young sprouts. Sprinkle them in the hour
When shadow falls across their bed.
You should try to look at them every day
Because when they come to full flower
I will be away.

 Sweet beast, I have gone prowling,
a proud rejected man
who lived along the edges
catch as catch can;
in darkness and in hedges
I sang my sour tone
and all my love was howling
conspicuously alone.

 They wear their godhead lightly.
They look out from their hill and say,
To themselves, "We have nowhere to go but down;
The great destination is to stay."

 You must call up every strength you own
And you can rip off the whole facial mask.

 You still whispered you would not die.
Yet in the nights I heard you cry
Like a whipped child. . . .
