"The Place Of The Solitaires
Let the place of the solitaires
Be a place of perpetual undulation.
Whether it be in mid-sea
On the dark, green water-wheel,
Or on the beaches,
There must be no cessation
Of motion, or of the noise of motion,
The renewal of noise
And manifold continuation;
And, most, of the motion of thought
And its restless iteration,
In the place of the solitaires,
Which is to be a place of perpetual undulation."
--Wallace Stevens
"CONQUERING AN EMPIRE (Palindrome)
No due,
fleets war....
Did I rule Rome?
No, no, troops!
In Italy,
my Latin
is poor-to-none.
More lurid,
I draw steel,
feud on...."
--@Anthony_Etherin
