The flames of the heart consumed me, and the mind
Is but a foolish wind.

Green Song & Other Poems (1944)

Remember only this of our hopeless love
That never till Time is done
Will the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind be one.

Green Song & Other Poems (1944)

The great gold planet that is the mourning heat of the Sun
Is greater than all gold, more powerful
Than the tawny body of a Lion that fire consumes
Like all that grows or leaps... so is the heart
More powerful than all dust.
