LAST CHANCE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Within the streams, pausanias saith
Last Line: My ghost may land the ghosts of fish


Within the streams, Pausanias saith ,
That down Cocytus valley flow,
Girdling the gray domain of Death,
The spectral fishes come and go;
The ghosts of trout flit to and fro.
Persephone, fulfil my wish;
And grant that in the shades below
My ghost may land the ghosts of fish.
