That challenges the crypt,
And quotes milleniums
Against the grave.”

Infected by the tomb,
Yet burgeoning
Indifferent to death.”

“Oh, we have had great lovers that we followed to the pyre;
Our boasts out-do the Sabine girls—the Mosque of St. Sophia.
And we are very sure of ours, for when a city falls,
They seize us and they love us and they hurl us from the walls.”

"Our Lovers"
Venus Invisible and Other Poems (1928)
