Excerpt from Divinations and Creation

As oak to the carver's knife, or tougher stone, A moveless monolith Scored deep with secret hieroglyphs Whence men will Slowly, letter by letter, spell Enduring exultation for their lives! For I am witness to a miracle That opens a new mad mouth Quick with astonishment of ardent words Not mine but prophets to this wonder That must be testified all new and strange And ere it stale be kneaded in our clay, Since memory would betray what must remain Ever before us like tomorrow. Of myself I should not otherwise heap words Upon the garbage of our daily gossip, But let you pass unhailed Myself preferring to slip within a dream Like a stretched lily in its quiet pool.
