OCTAVES: 21, by             Poet's Biography
First Line: To curse the chilled insistence of the dawn
Last Line: The fundamental blunders of mankind.


To curse the chilled insistence of the dawn
Because the free gleam lingers; to defraud
The constant opportunity that lives
Unchallenged in all sorrow; to forget
For this large prodigality of gold
That larger generosity of thought, --
These are the fleshly clogs of human greed,
The fundamental blunders of mankind.
