Excerpt from The Lathe of Morpheus; Or the Dream Song: A Tribute to B. C. From E. M

Hough oft-times ill-sifting memory with deft digits thickly draws Ashen grey curtains thwart my vagrant brain; She ne'er from me can hide thy face and form, Nor cloaked Oblivion, from streams of Lethe borne. Ensnare in sable trammel, behind her basalt doors Thy eyes, thy lips, thy smile, - that ere again My gaping senses steep And lull to fragrant sleep. Fiercer in Morning Sun than in turgid hues of Night Calcined and adust, parching my thirsting sight Thy welcome form appears, Grief-giving while it cheers.
