to bend them to my wish,
it was easy enough
to alter them with a touch,
but you

how shall I call you back?'

         I plume myself like any mated dove:
They praise my rustling show, and never see
         My heart is breaking for a little love.

L.E.L., Christina Rossetti

We find delight in the most loathsome things;
Some furtherance of Hell each new day brings,
And yet we feel no horror in that rank advance…”🔥

whirl your pointed pines,
splash your great pines
on our rocks,
hurl your green over us,
cover us with your pools of fir.'
