A fragile dew-drop on its perilous way
From a tree’s summit.

Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for awhile, then closes

The man smiled at him a sly smile. As if they knew a secret between them, these two. Something of age and youth and their claims and the justice of those claims. And of the claims upon them.

that keep alive on departure know that
you praise them; transient,
they look to us, the most transient,
to be their rescue.
They want us to change them completely,
in our invisible hearts,
into -- O endlessly -- us! Whoever,
finally, we may be.

The mothlike worlds flit 'round the guttering sun.
