1261
In the mind's empire
From what vantage is this small beheld?
What buffets found this armature?
What vanquished fears seam
The heart's public square,
Where idlers indifferent
Recall views more fair?
What austerity's denuded
Ornate private spaces,
Or has clarity, or lack,
Suited deed to thought?
Any caretaker's redundant,
All make-work is done,
Emperor and subject
Were always one.
