Dark this pearl as night rain
In perception about a grain
Of seeming sound grown water drop
Round, a phantom of what is--
Yet wholly world misthought:
Pre-judgement's paste was bought.

This primal calm
Was a void of potence
Unmattered,
As longing ere absence--
Whilst in embryo inevitability
That stillness of motion, time,
As one ruffle
Beguiled what it was by silence.

The constellated tones
Made organ notes by eyes
--
So thought become
A school roofed by night,
And stars lectures
With mouths of light:
In naught but invention
Lies unfettered will--
A spurious perfection
All nature shuns--
Morality's clockwork's
But the ticking orbits of suns.

The heart of the father lies always in darkness--
Unsinewed at need,
Unneeded at strength;
In time's sightless border pent.

957
Fruit of a feast of idleness--
Her escutcheon amidst the pale,
To pale appetite this vison fed--
Needless is more in velleity's bed.
No outward flourish
But still-limbed beguilement
In private shadow reposed,
And affection touchless disclosed.
