“Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.”
Among School Children http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/1437/, st. 8
The Tower (1928)
Context: Labour is blossoming or dancing where
The body is not bruised to pleasure soul.
Nor beauty born out of its own despair,
Nor blear-eyed wisdom out of midnight oil.
O chestnut-tree, great-rooted blossomer,
Are you the leaf, the blossom or the bole?
O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
How can we know the dancer from the dance?

“A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.”
Table-Talk (1857)


“But the problem is to make the soul into a monster”
