“Say surrender. Say alabaster. Switchblade.
Honeysuckle. Goldenrod. Say autumn.

in your eyes. Beauty despite

like a sparrow stunned
with falling.”

“The less you eat, drink, buy books, go to the theatre or to balls, or to the pub, and the less you think, love, theorize, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you will be able to save and the greater will become your treasure which neither moth nor rust will corrupt—your capital. The less you are, the less you express your life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life and the greater is the saving of your alienated being.”
