Excerpt from Poems Poised on the crescent moon, she stands serene, Whose eyes from purple into violet pale, As ever she lets fall the drifting veil Clouding her beauty with its twilight sheen; Hers are grey breasts death laid his lips between Lest ever any subtle lover quail Before her kiss, remembering life, and fail To taste the flesh no eyes live, having seen.
