Where wine may bear no sovereignty;
The chaste wife wise, without debate;
Such sleeps as may beguile the night;
Contented with thine own estate;
Neither wish death, nor fear his might.”

—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)

& cross the damp cold lawn & down the bluff
into the terrible water & walk forever
under it out toward the island.”
