“The skreak and skritter of evening gone
And grackles gone and sorrows of the sun,
The sorrows of sun, too, gone . . . the moon and moon,
The yellow moon of words about the nightingale
In measureless measures, not a bird for me....”

The Polar Dragon slept,
His heavy rings uncoiled from glimmering deep to deep....”
