Than Venus, or those pampered animals
That rage in savage sensuality.”

The one-foot stars were couriers of its death
To the wild limits of its habitation.
These were not tepid stars of torpid places
But bravest at midnight and in lonely spaces,
They looked back at Hans look with savage faces.”
—Wallace Stevens (18791955)

Shall ever wash away, what men
Unborn shall read oer ocean wide
And find Ianthes name agen.”
