Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?”

“In the far South the sun of autumn is passing
Like Walt Whitman walking along a ruddy shore.
He is singing and chanting the things that are part of him,
The worlds that were and will be, death and day.
Nothing is final, he chants. No man shall see the end.
His beard is of fire and his staff is a leaping flame.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)
“The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone
In the ranks of death youll find him,
His fathers sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.”
—Thomas Moore (17791852)
