“Before there was any water there were tides of fire, both our tones flow from the older fountain.”
"Continent's End" in Tamar and Other Poems (1924)

Before there was any water there were tides of fire, both our tones flow from the older fountain.
“Every pleasure raises the tide of life; every pain lowers the tide of life.”
