The head in the dark below
Was a shade less the color of night,
A shade more the color of snow.”

Your perfect body and your pompous gait,
Your dark eyes flashing solemnly with hate,”

“It were as wise to cast a violet into a crucible that you might discover the formal principle of its colour and odour, as seek to transfuse from one language into another the creations of a poet.
