Lives in measure,
Which if men forsake,
Blinded they into folly run and grief for pleasure take.”

And sky, between thought and day and night. It is
For that the poet is always in the sun,
Patches the moon together in his room
To his Virgilian cadences, up down,
Up down. It is a war that never ends.”
