    “I leave the present and its fretful claims
        And seek the dim past where my memories stay. 
    I dream an old, forgotten, far-off dream, 
         And think old thoughts and live old scenes anew

    “i hold their bodies in obscene embrace
    thinking of everything but kinship

    and i taste in my natural appetite
    the bond of live things everywhere.
