Contents:

Pedantic literalist

To a steam roller

Diligence is to magic as progress is to flight

Those various scalpels

Feed me, also, river god

To William Butler Yeats on Tagore

He made this screen

Talisman

Black earth

"He wrote the history book," it said

You are like the realistic product of an idealistic search for gold at the foot of the rainbow

Reinforcements

Roses only

In this age of hard trying nonchalance is good, and

The fish

My apish cousins

When I buy pictures

Picking and choosing

England

Dock rats

Radical

Poetry

In the days of prismatic color

Is your town Nineveh?
