Epigraph (of "Epiktistes")
Arrive at Easterwine (1971)
Context: Oh, come along, reader of the High Journal; if you do not love words, how will you love the communication? How will you forgive me my tropes, communicate the love?
“From the words and the thickets,
Come the ghosts of his victims,
'We love you!'
'Ah love you!”
This will not hurt a bit.
Song lyrics, From Her to Eternity (1984), A Box for Black Paul

Poems and Ballads (1866-89), The Triumph of Time
Context: In the change of years, in the coil of things,
In the clamour and rumour of life to be,
We, drinking love at the furthest springs,
Covered with love as a covering tree,
We had grown as gods, as the gods above,
Filled from the heart to the lips with love,
Held fast in his hands, clothed warm with his wings,
O love, my love, had you loved but me!
