ten thousand resultant combinations
from the heliconian muses
let us begin to sing
the first religion
soft feet deep blue spring
triumph of the old country
washed tender bodies
advance to the church
veiled in mist thick
powder all the pots inside
the military escort
delights in arrows
after the last donkey
hope in the middle of despair
on the slopes of your son's wife
a pile of cocaine
delicious recoil
from the flood of water in summer heat
phospherus lime and delicate fibers
the crown of gold
habits merely an order
a shoot of sturdy laurel
the wood-ash covers cuddle
studs the table and the pony
submit to the hearth child
& quickly bring the golden shoes
worthiest gods perfect and young
the swallow that perches light-footed
harmony of the temple spectacle
the loud thunderer glad
to maintain this ecstasy
violets from the grave
hunters of deep sea prey,
have we caught anything?
all that we caught we left behind,
& all that we did not catch we carry home
the homes of the immortals
inward world of thought and feeling
movements of the shore side
some trick of magic
dwarved into the narrowest chamber
a group of impressions
walls of personality
a solitary prisoner in perpetual flight
single moments apprehended
relics more or less fleeting
vanishing away unweaving
all melts under our feet
the roughness of the eye
exquisite passions
sleeping before evening
in the hydrogen chamber
tell me of my cattle
in warlike harnesses
the truth of the old world
more desirable
restoration and retention
still they survived
every ray of sound
rusts iron and ripens corn
the fashion
the main a matter
the young right power
of the able-footed mule
feeling roman
spot lightning in the field
a place of sacred circumstance
a place almost stifling
gratitude to the single family
and the day of the little
private celebrations
purifications in the vineyard
the victims of the northern style
and the Latin liturgy
the procession moved on its way
though its precise meaning was long
filling large baskets
busy in the great portico
the girls of the farm
the painted chest in the hall
family records spacious and quaint
law and its entaglements
the splendor of our experience
rearranging the details
we have an interval
quickened & multiplied
and then we have no more
gods yet more mysterious
the instuments of labor lie untouched
branches of apple and cherry
in spacious bloom
clean full incense
altars more sumptuous than the old garden
the young scent
the monotonous cloud
the procession moved in absolute stillness
a pontifical formula
the ceremonies of the day
the chief points of domestic conduct
and much speculative activity
the stirring wind passing
the placid heads
the blessing of the fields
the research council
everyday in the marketplace
the rabbit whaler
details of the ceremonial
names of the no longer sacred
the morsel of honeycomb
a few violets
a cake dipped in wine
the family meal the second course
southern style
dizzy on brandy and failure
night stillness
veils of familiarity
the mirth of the evening complete
the servants at supper
in the great kitchen
the imperfect light sober
the beating of violent rain
solitude and nearness
a sort of protection
from the order of a birthday
the material abode
the red rose came first
the doubles or seconds of real things
quite blank forgetfulness
the unconsecrated host
culture of the olive and vine
the same analogy
passed in continuous dreaming
daytime extravagance
of spent substance
nearer to the dwelling-house
not without its picturesque charm
the north american land mass
young intimates of the national
cultivation of the primitive
ideal dignity of nature itself
the charm of exclusiveness
still sung
summer was not discouraged
young feelings in the richest garden
the living welcomed
the ways of sentiment
and the present whole and severe
the demands and claims of others
the early end of travelling
the sloped faces of white roads
the marsh-land below
pale red beyond the gates
playing velvet in the sea-wind
mosses on ledges and angles
marble plates slipped delicate
gracefull wildness
the decorative value of the floor
that head of Medusa
the coast of the thing
and the whitest pigeons
the sands of a fisherman's net
little glazed windows
the purple distant harbor
white breakers long-drawn curves
the peculiar sanctuary
of the shadowy people
desiring sleep and soft lines
the many folds of the veil
the pleasures of winter
the very dead warm
of generous heat
the sufferings of the animal world
and the soft lines of hands and face
the sense of some unexplored evil
the snakes breeding happily
the incident made food distasteful
and sleep uneasy
memory corners of reptiles
the lower side of the world
secret of no particular dread
a sluggish viper
childhood traditions of the past
peculiar influences never outgrown
the sense of distraction everywhere
the country and the open air
the ramble to the coast
the marsh with its dwarf roses
wild lavender
delightful signs
abandoned boats
the ruined flood-gates
the flock of wild birds
vague scents and sounds
the grave northern notes
summer idleness
