    “O beautiful white land,
    olives and wild anemone and violet
    mingled among the shale,
    and purple wings
    of little winter-butterflies
    say, here Psyche, the soul, lies.”

    But that he knows in singing not to sing.
    The question that he frames in all but words
    Is what to make of a diminished thing.”
