That you shall find lies in the cellar, charred
Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it
For a doorsill or other corner piece
In a new cottage on the ancient spot.
The life is not yet all gone out of it.
And come and make your summer dwelling here....”

Carried by the wandering fool.
Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
Beauty and fool together laid.”

under the surge of the blue
mottled clouds driven from the
northwest—a cold wind.”
