The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives.”

Amid the slant stones of graveyards.
Pale ghosts who planted you
Came in the night-time
And let their thin hair blow through your clustered stems.”

Of millions, robber of the best
Which earth can give ...”

You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”

With the weight of this brocade,
For the sun sifts through the shade.”
