Flank by flank on the hea delland

with the Goddess' eyes to seaward

By Circeo, by Terracina with the stone eyes

white toward the sea,

With one mea sure , unceasing :

" Fao dem ! " " Est factus . "

Ver novum ,

ver novum !

Thus made the spring,

Can see but their eyes in the dark

not the bough that he walked on.

Beaten from flesh into light

Hath swallowed the fire-ball

A traverse le foglie

His rod hath made god in my belly

Sic logitur nupta

Cantat sic nupta

Dark shoulders have stirred the lightning

A girl's arms have nested the fire,

Not I but the handmaid kindled,

Cantat sic nupta

I have eaten the flame.

Desolate is the roof where the cat sat,
Desolate is the iron rail that he walked
And the corner post whence he greeted the sunrise.
In the hill path : thkk, thgk " of the loom
" Thgk, thkk " and the sharp sound of a song
under olives,
When I lay in the ingle of Circe
I heard a song of that kind.

Fat panther lay by me,
Girls talked there of fucking, beasts talked there of eating,
All heavy with sleep, fucked girls and fat leopards,
Lions loggy with Circe's tisane,
Girls leery with Circe's tisane

When Hathor was bound in that box

afloat on seafare

Came “ava swimming with light hand lifted in overstroke

Sea blossom wreathed in her locks

"What are you box?"

"I am Hathor"

Than with a crab for an eye and 30 fathom of fishes,
Green swish in the socket.

With plum flowers above them

With jasmine and olive leaf,
