Pour out the Virgin and Saints, twist and untwist
The mortal youth of Christ astride an ass.”

and many within themselves
travel to far islands but no one
asks for their story....”

Floats though unseen among us, visiting
This various world with as inconstant wing
As summer winds that creep from flower to flower;”
