A Brief Look into a Locked Room.
"Still am I faithful to the lonely faith.
Dreaming, alone and melancholy here..."
—Lionel Johnson via
“Memoriter
Ovals of opal on dislustred seas,
Skyshine, and all that indolent afternoon
No clash of arms, no shouting on the breeze;
Only the reeds moaned soft or high their empty rune.
The paladins played chess and did not care,
The crocus pierced the turf with random dart.
Then twanged a cord. Through space, from Oultremer
That other arrow veered toward your heart.”
—Charles Spear
