The Coming
Tower
Lyrics: 1941.


Must not be sorry. Quick or dead,
The heart, impassive. mocks retreat
rom Avignon, from Fire, from Crete:
so, rest be quiet, never mind.
love you less for being kind.
g.
Time past, belonging not to me,
But to the unrecorded hour,
Holds, in its bright felicity,
Your memory, a fading flower.
And I may never see again
Your smile, however far I seek,
Save in despair, save in the storm
Abrupt against my pensive cheek.
Time here and now the gilded day,
The blue sky and the plaintive dove,
with voiceless tenderness
Emoalms in amber, grief and love.
who pluck the golden pear
That bends the shadoWy bough
And turn to stare with dreaming eyes
A thousand years from now:
So, once, I, too. Alas, the fruit
Grew bitter from twisted root.

Old men are bitter
Young men are bold.
But you are neither
Young nor old.
The shaven beard
That masks your cheek
Is neither feathery
Nor gray.
Old men are sad,
They rarely speak.
Old men are weary,
Young ones, gay.
Young men are hopeful,
Old ones, kind
But you are neither.
You are blind.
My peace has been imperiled BY
various things:
BY meretricious and involved retreat;
BY myosotis, postcards, iteration
Reluctant footsteps on a starlit street
How may 7 know that he will come
again,
Or call at midnight :. If he ever
calls?
Ah. she who loves has died thou
sand deaths.
At the worlds end where no bell
rings, no knocker falls
The pierced heart no more resists,
But proudly, clrcumscribed with hate,
Regards the rape of vein and breast.
Implacable, the heart shall wait,
Knowing on what foundation rests
Perfections cobblestones and plinth:
Thus Ajax, when the blade was
Thus, the immortal hyacinth.

There was a nice looking girl at
Grand Central Terminal And 1t
seemed to us that she was fare
yelling, for it sounded to US like
comma, when she said, Buy,
poppy." Good bye, honey" we
said. and ran like a Halloween
pranker who has rung the doorbell.
In spite of the fact that we
meaning the Red Sox and the
White Sox-do not concede the
pennant, it looks as though we have
to give it back to the Indians.

There are those who think that
Gen. Grant should have said. "Weu
negotiate it out on this line II
it takes all summer"
And G. C. suggests the following
patriotic" revisions:
Tread on me
II have not yet begun to fight, and
intend not to begin"
Please give up the ship"

Well. We have a contribution to
make to civilian defense in the City
of New York Eliminate the num-
bers from all ediflces. Not only
would it be easier than putting
numbers on all buildings that lack
them, but also it would make 1t
even tougher for an invader than
it is for residents.

AS we understand it, there Is this
difference between a so-called iso-
lationist and so-called interven-
zionist: The former says, IT am
for helping Britain, but :"
The latter says, Il hate war, but ="
Some cynics call 1t the Amerika
Fuehrst Kommittee.
