In us is only this insistent surge Incapable of calming! It is ever-renewing and ever-alarming! Sweet as the winter's quickening 5 For Unforgotten Spring! Sweet as Summer's hungering For Autumn's quickened cooling...! All Airs all Objects all Elements conspire To re-invent Life as but a single Desire! 10 All fire-quick and heart-aloft As if to live were a speeded trance No Eye, no Heart, no Splendour could enchant To any, more docile, slowness than this: To race large eons into seconds, or hurl 15 Blooming minutes into aspiring words, Exploding Black Heaven with their own dear light! Challenging the Skies in innumerable Words!
