quote:

Sometimes my answer to the question "What do you do for fun?" is answered in the past tense or future tense. I need to find ways to make that answerable in the present tense more.

quote:

I am one howl in a seranade.
I am one note in a summer song,
And one face of which the pack is made.

Gray brothers are my only strength, unafraid.
Gray sisters are my joy, bright and long.
I am one howl in a serenade.

I am one shape of the soul's cascade,
One body lost in the loving throng,
And one face of which the pack is made.

My magic's a descant overlaid
On our melody of evensong:
I am one howl in a serenade.

I am one leap in the hidden glade,
One resplendent spell spun out lifelong,
And one face of which the pack is made.

With solidarity I have paid
The circle to which all wolves belong.
I am one howl in a serenade,
And one face of which the pack is made.

--Elizabeth Barrette

quote:

X. To Sleep

I will find out a place for thee, O Sleep-
A hidden wood among the hill-tops green,
Full of soft streams and little winds that creep
  The murmuring boughs between.

A hollow cup above the ocean placed
Where nothing rough, nor loud, nor harsh shall be,
But woodland light and shadow interlaced
  And summer sky and sea.

There in the fragrant twilight I will raise
A secret altar of the rich sea sod,
Whereat to offer sacrifice and praise
  Unto my lonely god:

Due sacrifice of his own drowsy flowers,
The deadening poppies in an ocean shell
Round which through all forgotten days and hours
  The great seas wove their spell.

So may he send me dreams of dear delight
And draughts of cool oblivion, quenching pain,
And sweet, half-wakeful moments in the night
  To hear the falling rain.

And when he meets me at the dusk of day
To call me home for ever, this I ask-
That he may lead me friendly on that way
  And wear no frightful mask.

from "Spirits in Bondage" by a young C.S. Lewis (writing as Clive Stapleton)
