"The God Called Poetry".
Country Sentiment (1920)
Context: Then speaking from his double head

"I am YES and I am NO,
Black as pitch and white as snow,
Love me, hate me, reconcile
Hate with love, perfect with vile,
So equal justice shall be done
And life shared between moon and sun.
Nature for you shall curse or smile:
A poet you shall be, my son."
“Clothe me entire in the final filament,
So that I tremble with such love so known
And myself am precious for your perfecting.”
