How Hard, How Desperately Hard,

In My Stiff, Brocaded Gown. With My Powdered Hair And Jeweled Fan, I Too Am A Rare Pattern.

Life Is A Stream On Which We Strew Petal By Petal The Flower Of Our Heart; The End Lost In Dream, They Float Past Our View, We Only Watch Their Glad, Early Start. Freighted With Hope, Crimsoned With Joy, We Scatter The Leaves Of Our Opening Rose; Their Widening Scope, Their Distant Employ, We Never Shall Know. And The Stream As It Flows Sweeps Them Away, Each One Is Gone Ever Beyond Into Infinite Ways. We Alone Stay While Years Hurry On, The Flower Fared Forth, Though Its Fragrance Still Stays.

All Books Are Either Dreams Or Swords, You Can Cut, Or You Can Drug, With Words.

You Are Ice And Fire The Touch Of You Burns My Hands Like Snow.

Moon! Moon! I Am Prone Before You. Pity Me,and Drench Me In Loneliness.
