and yet it remains to see if imortality unveil

So huge so helpless to concive

and all we need of hell.

Hand I the heavens embroidered cloths
enwrought with gold and silver light
The blue & the dim & the dark cloths
of night & life & half light
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I being poor have only my dreams
I have spread my dreams benith your feet
tread softly, for you tread on my dreams.
-WB Yeats

his flashing eyes and floating hair
Weave a circle round him thrice
and close your eyes in holy dread
For he on honey dew hath fed
and drunk the milk of paradise.

I have knownt he best things best worth knowing
I have been warmed through and through
never to grow quite cold again untill the end.

Hope may vanish, but it may not die
Truth be veiled yet still it burneth
Love repulsed yet it returneth

Seek not for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee
