“Because of neglect, Son,
though well-forged
in affectionate bonds,
Love in time
will trickle away
like water through cupped hands.”

The melancholy waters lie.
So blend the turrets and shadows there
That all seem pendulous in air,
While from a proud tower in the town
Death looks gigantically down.”
