Not to be realized because not to
Be seen, not to be loved nor hated because
Not to be realized.

Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction (1942)

Clothe me entire in the final filament,
So that I tremble with such love so known
And myself am precious for your perfecting.

Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction (1942)

They married well because the marriage-place
Was what they loved. It was neither heaven nor hell.
They were love’s characters come face to face.
