Clear�察�with Light�察�Variable Winds







The fountain bent and straightened itself

In the night wind��

Blowing like a flower。

It gleamed and glittered��

A tall white lily��

Under the eye of the golden moon。

From a stone seat��

Beneath a blossoming lime��

The man watched it。

And the spray pattered

On the dim grass at his feet。



The fountain tossed its water��

Up and up�察�like silver marbles。

Is that an arm he sees��

And for one moment

Does he catch the moving curve

Of a thigh��

The fountain gurgled and splashed��

And the man's face was wet。



Is it singing that he hears��

A song of playing at ball��

The moonlight shines on the straight column of water��

And through it he sees a woman��

Tossing the water´balls。

Her breasts point outwards��

And the nipples are like buds of peonies。

Her flanks ripple as she plays��

And the water is not more undulating

Than the lines of her body。



;Come�察─�she sings�察 �Poet��

Am I not more worth than your day ladies��

Covered with awkward stuffs��

Unreal�察�unbeautiful��

What do you fear in taking me��

Is not the night for poets��

I am your dream��

Recurrent as water��

Gemmed with the moon� �



She steps to the edge of the pool

And the water runs�察�rustling�察�down her sides。

She stretches out her arms��

And the fountain streams behind her

Like an opened veil。



     *    *    *    *    *



In the morning the gardeners came to their work。

;There is something in the fountain�察─�said one。

They shuddered as they laid their dead master

On the grass。

;I will close his eyes�察─�said the head gardener��

;It is uncanny to see a dead man staring at the sun。;









The Basket







    I



The inkstand is full of ink�察�and the paper lies white and unspotted��

in the round of light thrown by a candle。  Puffs of darkness sweep into

the corners�察�and keep rolling through the room behind his chair。  The air

is silver and pearl�察�for the night is liquid with moonlight。



See how the roof glitters�察�like ice��



Over there�察�a slice of yellow cuts into the silver´blue�察�and beside it stand

two geraniums�察�purple because the light is silver´blue�察�to´night。





See�  �She is coming�察�the young woman with the bright hair。

She swings a basket as she walks�察�which she places on the sill��

between the geranium stalks。  He laughs�察�and crumples his paper

as he leans forward to look。  ;The Basket Filled with Moonlight;��

what a title for a book��



The bellying clouds swing over the housetops。





He has forgotten the woman in the room with the geraniums。  He is beating

his brain�察�and in his eardrums hammers his heavy pulse。  She sits

on the window´sill�察�with the basket in her lap。  And tap�  �She cracks a nut。

And tap�  �Another。  Tap�  �Tap�  �Tap�  �The shells ricochet upon the roof��

and get into the gutters�察�and bounce over the edge and disappear。



;It is very queer�察─�thinks Peter�察 �the basket was empty�察�I'm sure。

How could nuts appear from the atmosphere�拭�



The silver´blue moonlight makes the geraniums purple�察�and the roof glitters

like ice。





    II



Five o'clock。  The geraniums are very gay in their crimson array。

The bellying clouds swing over the housetops�察�and over the roofs goes Peter

to pay his morning's work with a holiday。



;Annette�察�it is I。  Have you finished�拭 �Can I come�拭�



Peter jumps through the window。



;Dear�察�are you alone�拭�



;Look�察�Peter�察�the dome of the tabernacle is done。  This gold thread

is so very high�察�I am glad it is morning�察�a starry sky would have

seen me bankrupt。  Sit down�察�now tell me�察�is your story going well�拭�



The golden dome glittered in the orange of the setting sun。  On the walls��

at intervals�察�hung altar´cloths and chasubles�察�and copes�察�and stoles��

and coffin palls。  All stiff with rich embroidery�察�and stitched with

so much artistry�察�they seemed like spun and woven gems�察�or flower´buds

new´opened on their stems。





Annette looked at the geraniums�察�very red against the blue sky。



;No matter how I try�察�I cannot find any thread of such a red。

My bleeding hearts drip stuff muddy in comparison。  Heigh´ho�  �See my little

pecking dove�拭 �I'm in love with my own temple。  Only that halo's wrong。

The colour's too strong�察�or not strong enough。  I don't know。  My eyes

are tired。  Oh�察�Peter�察�don't be so rough�察�it is valuable。  I won't do

any more。  I promise。  You tyrannise�察�Dear�察�that's enough。  Now sit down

and amuse me while I rest。;



The shadows of the geraniums creep over the floor�察�and begin to climb

the opposite wall。





Peter watches her�察�fluid with fatigue�察�floating�察�and drifting��

and undulant in the orange glow。  His senses flow towards her��

where she lies supine and dreaming。  Seeming drowned in a golden halo。



The pungent smell of the geraniums is hard to bear。





He pushes against her knees�察�and brushes his lips across her languid hands。

His lips are hot and speechless。  He woos her�察�quivering�察�and the room

is filled with shadows�察�for the sun has set。  But she only understands

the ways of a needle through delicate stuffs�察�and the shock of one colour

on another。  She does not see that this is the same�察�and querulously murmurs

his name。



;Peter�察�I don't want it。  I am tired。;



And he�察�the undesired�察�burns and is consumed。



There is a crescent moon on the rim of the sky。





    III



;Go home�察�now�察�Peter。  To´night is full moon。  I must be alone。;



;How soon the moon is full again�  �Annette�察�let me stay。  Indeed�察�Dear Love��

I shall not go away。  My God�察�but you keep me starved�  �You write

`No Entrance Here'�察�over all the doors。  Is it not strange�察�my Dear��

that loving�察�yet you deny me entrance everywhere。  Would marriage

strike you blind�察�or�察�hating bonds as you do�察�why should I be denied

the rights of loving if I leave you free�拭 �You want the whole of me��

you pick my brains to rest you�察�but you give me not one heart´beat。

Oh�察�forgive me�察�Sweet�  �I suffer in my loving�察�and you know it。  I cannot

feed my life on being a poet。  Let me stay。;



;As you please�察�poor Peter�察�but it will hurt me if you do。  It will

crush your heart and squeeze the love out。;



He answered gruffly�察 �I know what I'm about。;



;Only remember one thing from to´night。  My work is taxing and I must

have sight�  �I MUST� �



The clear moon looks in between the geraniums。  On the wall��

the shadow of the man is divided from the shadow of the woman

by a silver thread。





They are eyes�察�hundreds of eyes�察�round like marbles�  �Unwinking�察�for there

are no lids。  Blue�察�black�察�gray�察�and hazel�察�and the irises are cased

in the whites�察�and they glitter and spark under the moon。  The basket

is heaped with human eyes。  She cracks off the whites and throws them away。

They ricochet upon the roof�察�and get into the gutters�察�and bounce

over the edge and disappear。  But she is here�察�quietly sitting

on the window´sill�察�eating human eyes。



The silver´blue moonlight makes the geraniums purple�察�and the roof shines

like ice。





    IV



How hot the sheets are�  �His skin is tormented with pricks��

and over him sticks�察�and never moves�察�an eye。  It lights the sky with blood��

and drips blood。  And the drops sizzle on his bare skin�察�and he smells them

burning in�察�and branding his body with the name ;Annette;。



The blood´red sky is outside his window now。  Is it blood or fire��

Merciful God�  �Fire�  �And his heart wrenches and pounds ;Annette� �



The lead of the roof is scorching�察�he ricochets�察�gets to the edge��

bounces over and disappears。



The bellying clouds are red as they swing over the housetops。





    V



The air is of silver and pearl�察�for the night is liquid with moonlight。

How the ruin glistens�察�like a palace of ice�  �Only two black holes swallow

the brilliance of the moon。  Deflowered windows�察�sockets without sight。



A man stands before the house。  He sees the silver´blue moonlight��

and set in it�察�over his head�察�staring and flickering�察�eyes of geranium red。

In a Castle







    I



Over the yawning chimney hangs the fog。  Drip  hiss  drip  hiss 

fall the raindrops on the oaken log which burns�察�and steams��

and smokes the ceiling beams。  Drip  hiss  the rain never stops。





The wide�察�state bed shivers beneath its velvet coverlet。  Above�察�dim��

in the smoke�察�a tarnished coronet gleams dully。  Overhead hammers and chinks

the rain。  Fearfully wails the wind down distant corridors�察�and there comes

the swish and sigh of rushes lifted off the floors。  The arras blows sidewise

out from the wall�察�and then falls back again。





It is my lady's key�察�confided with much nice cunning�察�whisperingly。

He enters on a sob of
