“There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.”

my bubbler, my chicken biddy!
Oh succulent one,
it is but one turn in the road
and I would be a cannibal!”

It quickens: clarity, outline of leaf

But now the stark dignity of
entrance—Still, the profound change
has come upon them: rooted, they
grip down and begin to awaken”
