Driving back shadows over low’ring hills.”

had as many shadows as lights,
a mournful candelabra against a sleek piano,
the gardenia her signature under that ruined face.

If you can’t be free, be a mystery.”

“When the hounds of spring are on winter’s traces,
The mother of months in meadow or plain
Fills the shadows and windy places
With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain;”
