The wind breezes out of a grove gone wild, And my foot is on the edge of the grave. [1964] All that I am hangs by a thread tonight as I wait for her whom no one can command Whatever I cherish most—youth, freedom, glory– fades before her who bears the flute in her hand. And look! she comes…she tosses back her veil, staring me down. serene and pitiless. “Are you the one,” I ask, “whom Dante heard dictate the lines of his Inferno?” She answers: “Yes.' [1924]
