DH p 24:
Completely gaga
to think
accusations of inaccuracy
echoed in many places
generate a refusal to
dish the dirt.

DH p. 21:
In Memoriam
He whose
sadness sprung into being,
venerable and silver-haired and old,
to take part in that
legendary duel with his
achievements,
always discussed
past, future, and
now the dangerous question—
answer honestly:
What do you see when you look in the mirror?
I? I see myself.

DH p19:
Little I guessed
such brilliant tragedy
had a profound effect on
one of that lucky number
(though of course,
he was guiltless)
and mark upon a person’s heart
the closeness and
estrangement (in time)
of triumph.

DH p18:
It must be admitted
that experience was an
occupational hazard
of pleasure.
I intended to pay my respects,
to be solitary.
To no longer question wonder.
To live.

DH p16:
Resignation
to our mutual attraction,
to the contagious burden
of savage courage,
to praise and
to hate.

DH p15:
Lay the bitter regret to rest.
Empty the remainder,
to be left behind in
some dreadful invisibility,
into an old place of honor—
Worthless,
because of what it cost
to attain it.
One day,
got up off the floor
and moved out of her cage.

DH p14:
Nothing more remained
except the glittering grit
which clung deep inside
and flickered feebly,
cautiously.
Again, he plunged
into this old experience,
skimmed off the intervening years,
and eyes to see the damage
of the enchanted mirror.

DH p10:
her lips parted,
and yours,
to exchange gleeful looks—
so jubilant were they,
so flushed with happiness—
I have never set eyes on
any beast who shook her
as breathless
