“Yet, to the empty trapeze of your flesh,
O Magdalene, each comes back to die alone.
Then you, the burlesque of our lust—and faith,
Lug us back lifeward—bone by infant bone.”

Vaulting the sea, the prairies dreaming sod,
Unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
As of the curveship lend a myth to God.”

And liable to melt as snow.”
