"I walk without flinching
through the burning cathedral of the summer.
My bank of wild grass is majestic
and full of music.
It is a fire that solitude presses
against my lips."

"Merry, merry England has kissed the lips of June:
All the wings of fairyland were here beneath the moon,
Like a flight of rose-leaves fluttering in a mist
Of opal and ruby and pearl and amethyst."
