Stirring, tasting, measuring,

With the precision of a ritual.

I like to think of you in your years of power—

You, now so shaken and so powerless—

High priestess of your home.

SINFONIA DOMESTICA

When the white wave of a glory that is hardly I

Breaks through my mind and washes it clean,

I know at last the meaning of my ecstasy,

And know at last my wish and what it can mean.
