Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite:
Fool! said my muse to me, look in thy heart, and write.”

His ship rolled helpless in the sea,
The fourth month of his voyage
He shouted grievously
“Beloved, do not think of me.””

The door; they halted helpless on the landing,
Waiting for things to happen in their favor.”
