“Ah! love and song are but a dream,
A flower's faint shade on life's dark stream.”
Letitia Elizabeth Landon (1802–1838) English poet and novelist
All from The Vow of the Peacock (Title Poem - Introduction)
The Vow of the Peacock (1835)
“Here life is, moves; faintly. A wrist. The faint throb of blood, precise, miraculous . . .”
Him (1927)
Context: Here life is, moves; faintly. A wrist. The faint throb of blood, precise, miraculous... And they talk of dying! The blood delicately descending and ascending: making an arm. Being an arm. The warm flesh, the dim slender flesh filled with life, slenderer than a miracle, frailer... These are the shoulders through which fell the world. The dangerous shoulders of Eve, in god's entire garden newly strolling.
