I am most weary of this chained thought

That hath forgotten where its mansions are—

And lost the dew its seven-spher’d courses caught

Wandering in plunged dark from star to star.

I am most weary of my stagnant soul

That neither thirsts, nor hungers, nor is stirred

By the gigantic thunders that have rolled

From the white, hurtling lightning of a word.

I am most weary, love; so let thy face—

The sponge that sops my gaze, myself erase.
