“Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.”

had as many shadows as lights,
a mournful candelabra against a sleek piano,
the gardenia her signature under that ruined face.
...
If you cant be free, be a mystery.”

“Are they shadows that we see?
And can shadows pleasures give?
Pleasures only shadows be,
Cast by bodies we conceive;”
