71 A throe upon the features— A hurry in the breath— An ecstasy of parting Denominated “Death”—
601 A still—Volcano—Life— That flickered in the night— When it was dark enough to do Without erasing sight—
LVIII PORTRAITS are to daily faces As an evening west To a fine, pedantic sunshine In a satin vest.
