- Contents
- Introduction -- We bring no boxed solution; our flags stream out for use, not trumpet-masses -- The Earth's lute, the shining heart -- Over our faces the hushed applause, the wall of words that nearly killed -- And something stabs into the sun before our opened eyes -- How white, how calm the hours are -- Our eyes are the eyes at your windows gentlemen, our hands are the hands at the latches of your doors -- We hear the dark curve of eternity go coughing down the hills -- The timelss bride of all our loving.
