Over your body the clouds go
High, high and icily
And a little flat, as if they
Floated on a glass that was invisible.
Unlike swans,
Having no reflections;
Unlike you,
With no strings attached.
All cool, all blue. Unlike you
You, there on your back,
Eyes to the sky.

is a bad dream
brave love, dream
not of staunching such strict flame, but come,
lean to my wound; burn on, burn on.

France splits open like a ripe fig in the mind; we are raping the land, we are not stopping.

I may have made a straight A in physics, but I was panic-struck. Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it.

I hate Technicolor. Everybody in a Technicolor movie seems to feel obliged to wear a lurid costume in each new scene and to stand around like a clotheshorse with a lot of very green trees or very yellow wheat or very blue ocean rolling away for miles and miles in every direction.
