The Fascination Of Whats Difficult

Topics: classic

The Fascination of whats difficult     Has dried the sap out of my veins, and rent     Spontaneous joy and natural content     Out of my heart. Theres something ails our colt     That must, as if it had not holy blood,     Nor on an Olympus leaped from cloud to cloud,     Shiver under the lash, strain, sweat and jolt     As though it dragged road metal. My curse on plays     That have to be set up in fifty ways,     On the days war with every knave and dolt,     Theatre business, management of men.     I swear before the dawn comes round again     Ill find the stable and pull out the bolt.
