He plays diversions on the homeward line,
A hedge may take him, but he turns not back,
'Spiral,' the memorable Lady terms
That figure on a flat; the way of worms.
And warn it, not one instinct to efface
And none more kindly gives and takes hard knocks.
They join to thunderings of their hearty thwacks.
When Peace another door in them unlocks,
Grown dully apprehensive of an Axe.
Fearing the God they flout, the God they glut.
Than schooling in the Pleasures: fair belief
Charged with an Axe nigh on the occiput.
THE GARDEN OF EPICURUS
That Garden of sedate Philosophy
A shining spot upon a shaggy map;
Luted their joyful concord; like the tree
Clear Wisdom found in tended Nature's lap
That Garden would on light supremest verge,
Healthful for Wisdom's head, her heart, her aims.
And for its wilds a husbandman, acclaims
Filled him, and mystic wrynesses he chased;
Wave subtler promise when desire pursues.
His pipe the reed of the old moaning waste.
And Beauty where she walked blood-shot the dews.
Responsively: he sang not Nature's own
As 'twere a forest-echo of her voice:
From what they dread, who do through tears rejoice.
AN ORSON OF THE MUSE
Her son, albeit the Muse's livery
Naked and hairy in his savage haunts,
Spouting the founts of her distillery
Being Nature's, civil limitation daunts
Him, when he blows of Earth, and Man, and Fate,
Than many of her train can waken: him
Must sink beneath the tidewaves, of their weight,
You to reviewers are as ball to bat.
With Shakespeare: bludgeons brainingly sublime
