Poems from cto10121
The seems of my disguise burst at the seams
Of simmering restraint. For, sun-like, beams
The shadowed self through artificial means,...
My piercing eye grows wide with horrored truth The more discerning so becomes; the shadesSurround the light where undistilled in youth ...
Discovery meet, most sweet substantial,
A grim victoire in sober fierce,
Which knowing in its talent fines
To piercing use; the cup...
So long as men can live and live to see Restrainèd not in action's course or bent; So long as those still fall be-weeping misery In silent...
And those who live in darkness,Who stay the siege of light,Embrace the naked sepulcher And, passing, drop from sight. --
