Dream Of A Curious Man
for F.N. Do you, as I do, know a zesty grief, And is it said of you, 'curious man!' I dreamed of dying; in my spirit's heat Desire and horror mixed, a strange mischance; Anguish and ardent hope were tightly knit; The more the fatal glass was drained of sand The more I suffered, and I savoured it; My heart pulled out of the familiar, and I was a child, eager to see a play, Hating the curtain standing in the way... At last the chilling verity came on: Yes, I was dead, and in the dreadful dawn Was wrapped. And what! That's all there is to tell? The screen was raised, and I was waiting still.
