    I tore my body that its wine might cover
    Whatever could recall the lip of lover.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    About his ankles,
    He brushed rocks
    The waves had flung.
    He ran in armour.”

    But when I stopped and turned to see,
    The tree was bending to the side
    And leaning out to look at me.”
