A white girl lay on the grass

With her arms held out for love;

Her goldbrown hair fell down her face,

And her two lips move:

See, I am the whitest cloud that strays

Through a deep sky:

I am your senses’ crossroads,

Where the four seasons lie.

She rose up in the middle of the lawn

And spread her arms wide;

And the webbed earth where she had lain

Had eaten away her side.

“He disappeared in the dead of winter:
The brooks were frozen, the airports almost deserted,
And snow disfigured the public statues;
The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.”

- W. H. Auden, ‘In Memory of W. B Yeats’

“Don’t talk to me of love. I’ve had an earful
And I get tearful when I’ve downed a drink or two.
I’m one of your talking wounded.
I’m a hostage. I’m marooned.
But I’m in Paris with you.”

- James Fenton, ‘In Paris With You’
