Muriel RukeyserHe said he would be back and we'd drink wine together
He said that everything would be better than before

He said that he was going to invent full-time
He said he loved me that going into me
He said was going into the world and the sky
He said all the buckles were very firm
He said the wax was the best wax
He said Wait for me here on the beach
He said Just don't cry

I remember she added : Women who love such are the worst of all

It would have been better than this.
What three things can never be done?
Forget. Keep silent. Stand alone.
The hill of glass, the fatal brilliant plain.
