“... this single span,
Reaching for the world, as our lives do,
As all lives do, reaching that we may give
The best of what we are and hold as true:
Always it is by bridges that we live.”

Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on waking.”

A haunted house. Tenants unknown
Assert their squalid lease of sin
With earlier title than his own.”
