    caves of the Moon . . .——— And when a
    dark humming fills us, a
    coldness towards life,

    “At twelve, the disintegration of afternoon
    Began, the return to phantomerei, if not
    To phantoms. Till then, it had been the other way:

    At twelve, as green as ever they would be.
    The sky was blue beyond the vaultiest phrase.”
