a different hour
. . .
No doubt, too, at this moment
a snake is sunning itself in Calcutta
And somewhere a philosopher is erasing
"time's empty passing" because he's seen
a woman in a ravishing dress.
In a different hour he'll put it back.

Quotes, words, missives from souls through a broken medium, what are they but straggling vessels, carrying the sweet words of a lover or the abrasive curses of a warmongerer.
