“In the very essence of poetry there is something indecent; A thing brought forth that we didn't know we had in us, So we blink our eyes, as if a tiger had sprung out And stood in the light, licking its tail.”

“My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;”

“Your war drum ain't / louder than this breath.”

“You gave me hyacinths first a year ago;”
