“First, the cold friction of expiring sense
Without enchantment, offering no promise
But bitter tastelessness of shadow fruit
As body and soul begin to fall asunder.
Second, the conscious impotence of rage
At human folly,”

No answer to the children’s cry
Of echo’s answer and the man of frost
And ghostly comets over the raised fists.”
