Beckoning to me;
Visionary triremes
Talked about the sea...

A precious place is Paradise and none may know its worth,
But Eden ever longeth for the knicknacks of the earth.

Their language runs to circles like the language of the eyes,
Emphasised by strange dilations with little panting sighs.

The Janitor's Boy And Other Poems (1924)

The world is growing gentle,
But few know what she owes
To the understanding lily
And the judgment of the rose.

Venus Invisible and Other Poems (1928)

That never life
Relinquishes a bloom
But to bestow
An ancient confidence.

Is a bit of truth.
