Martyrdoms of uncreated things,

Virgin silences waiting a breaking voice—

As in a womb they cry, in a cage beat vain wings

Under life, over life: is their unbeing my choice?

Dull wine of torpor—the unsoldered spirit lies limp.

Ah! If she would run into a mould,

Some new idea unwalled

To human by-ways, an apocalyptic camp

Of utterest and ulterior dreaming,

Understood only in its gleaming,
