With an arm of scrawny mast
For the visions in the sky
That go blindly pouring past.”

The fragrance of the woman not her self,
Her self in her manner not the solid block,
The day in its color not perpending time,
Time in its weather, our most sovereign lord,
The weather in words and words in sounds of sound.”
