...ight be Lot or Methusalem,
 Or it might be Moses (a man I hate),
 Whereas it is Pharaoh surnamed the Great.

 "Your glazing is new and your plumbing's strange,
 But otherwise I perceive no change;
 And in less than a month if you do as I bid
 I'd learn you to build me a Pyramid!"

THE SAILOR:
 I tell this tale, which is stricter true,
 Just by way of convincing you
 How very little, since things was made,
 Things have altered in the shipwright's trade.

...the song wasn't up to the task
of getting through the double-glazing
into the ears pressed on the outside pane
the rest of their bodies had faded away but
the ears were straining still towards the music
in order to know the good times being had in the room
night fell the cold grew and the lights went out but
the ears hung around believing in music until
they froze and dropped to the ground like
slugs that had missed o...Read more of this...

...silica,
Sift, almost invisible, through long afternoons of tedium,
Dropping a fine film on nails and delicate eyebrows,
Glazing the pale hair, the duplicate grey standard faces....Read more of this...

...ride;
But who for joys brides hope to have
Fell sick and died
In her gay prime,
In earliest winter-time,
With the first glazing rime,
With the first snow-fall of crisp winter-time.

Till Laura, dwindling,
Seemed knocking at Death's door:
Then Lizzie weighed no more
Better and worse,
But put a silver penny in her purse,
Kissed Laura, crossed the heath with clumps of furze
At twilight, halted by the brook,
And for the first time in her life
Began to listen and look.

...victims to th' already slain.

   He loves the haggard frame, the shattered mind,
     Gloats with delight upon the glazing eye,
   Yet, in one thing, His cruelty is kind,
     He sends them lovely dreams before they die;

   Dreams that bestow on them their heart's desire,
     Visions that find them mad, and leave them blest,
   To sink, forgetful of the fever's fire,
     Softly, as in a lover's arms, to rest....Read more of this...

...d sang my malediction with the rest.

That thing all blood and mire, that beast-torn wreck,
Half turned and fixed a glazing eye on mine,
And, though love's bitter-sweet had all come back,
Those bodies from a picture or a coin
Nor saw my body fall nor heard it shriek,
Nor knew, drunken with singing as with wine,
That they had brought no fabulous symbol there
But my heart's victim and its torturer....Read more of this...

...s feet,
A moment staggering, feebly fleet,
A moment, with a faint low neigh,
He answered, and then fell!
With gasps and glazing eyes he lay,
And reeking limbs immoveable,
His first and last career is done!
On came the troop - they saw him stoop,
They saw me strangely bound along
His back with many a bloody thong.
They stop - they start - they snuff the air,
Gallop a moment here and there,
Approach, retire, wheel round and round,
Then plunging back with sudden bound,
Heade...Read more of this...

...? No! . . . and no! . . .

There! I've done it. See! He lies
Death a-staring from his eyes;
Glazing eyeballs, panting breath,
How it's horrible, is Death!
Plucking at his bloody lips
With his trembling finger-tips;
Choking in a dreadful way
As if he would something say
In that uncouth tongue of his. . . .
Oh, how horrible Death is!

How I wish that he would die!
So unnerved, unmanned am I.
See! His twitching face is white!
See! ...Read more of this...

...e she weeps against the prison walls, 
 And waves her bleeding arm until it falls, 
 To France she hopeless turns her glazing eyes, 
 And sues her sister's succor ere she dies.

...And drink your lips like wine!

   Cholera, Riot, and Sudden Death,
       And the brave red blood set free,
   The glazing eye and the failing breath,—
       But what are these things to me?
   Your breath is quick and your eyes are bright
       And your blood is red like wine,
   And I shall sleep in your arms to-night
       And hold your lips with mine!

   I hear the sound of a thousand tears,
       Like softly pattering rain,
   I see the fever, folly, a...Read more of this...

He comes, - he comes, - the Frost Spirit comes! 
And the quiet lake shall feel 
The torpid touch of his glazing breath, 
And ring to the skater's heel; 
And the streams which danced on the broken rocks, 
Or sang to the leaning grass, 
Shall bow again to their winter chain, 
And in mournful silence pass. 

He comes, - he comes, - the Frost Spirit comes! 
Let us meet him as we may, 
And turn with the light of the parlor-fire 
His evil power away; 
And gather...Read more of this...

...ch my tale.
Confessor ! to thy secret ear
I breathe the sorrows I bewail,
And thank thee for the generous tear
This glazing eye could never shed. 
Then lay me with the humblest dead,
And, save the cross above my head,
Be neither name nor emblem spread,
By prying stranger to be read, 
Or stay the passing pilgrims tread.'


He passed - nor of his name and race
Hath left a token or a trace,
Save what the father must not say
Who shrived him on his dying day:

...rn tracks, tell 
How he struck and fell. 

Crest where cold drops beaded cling, 
Small ear drooping, nostril full, 
Glazing to a scarlet ring, 
Flanks and haunches quivering, 
Sinews stiffening, void and null, 
Dumb eyes sorrowful. 

Satin coat that seems to shine 
Duller now, black braided tress 
That a softer hand than mine 
Far away was wont to twine, 
That in meadows far from this 
Softer lips might kiss. 

All is over! this is death, 
And I stand to watch the...Read more of this...

...husband and he’ll solve it at a stroke.

He’ll clarify the situation; he will make it crystal clear
You’ll feel the glazing of your eyeballs, and the bending of your ear.
Corruption at the top, he’s an authority on that
And the Mafia, Gadafia and Yasser Arafat.

Upon these areas he brings his intellect to shine
In a great compelling voice that’s twice as loud as yours or mine.
I often wonder what it must be like to be so strong,
Infallible, articulate, self-confide...Read more of this...
