How do poets play?
Of their own souls
Making psalteries,
Whose music rolls
Toned to the vibrant ray
Of interstellar harmonies;
There lightnings involute
With lightnings, shoot
Athwart the flagrant spaces of the day,
Till sound ensheathed in sound,
Music in music drowned,
Flooding the still depths round,
Swoon in fainting silences away.
