But their mignon, marblish glare!

In a place so debonair.”

watching white uniforms whisk over
him in the tube-kept
prison
fear what they will do in experiment”

as if it were a given property of the mind
that certain bounds hold against chaos,

that is a place of first permission,
everlasting omen of what is.”
