Poems by Conrad Aiken
The House Of Dust: Part 01: 01:
... We crowd through the streets in a dazzle of pallid lamplight, ...
Improvisations: Light And Snow: 04
... We refrained from looking at the childs coffin on the seat before us ...
How to Accompany The Moon Without Walking
... bells breaking bronze, gold, down, the scattered tinkle, ...
Violet Moore and Bert Moore
... And when she dances his young heart swells ...
Summer
... while still obedient to valves and knobs ...
The House Of Dust: Part 03: 02:
... And the lips moved faintly, and the eyes, and the calm hands stirred ...
Improvisations: Light And Snow: 14
... With roots bared to the sun and stars ...
The House Of Dust: Part 01: 05:
... We diverge from clamorous streets to streets that are silent ...
The Cornet
... . . And watched her knees flash up, and her young hands beckon, ...
Seven Twilights
... Birch-leaves, beyond them, twinkle, and there on the hill, ...
The House Of Dust: Part 02: 10:
... . . And graves were dug in the earth, and coffins passed, ...
The House Of Dust: Part 02: 04:
... I plunge through the curtain, run through dark to the street, ...
The House Of Dust: Part 02: 11:
... . . And the slow night whirls in snow over towers of dreamers, ...
The House Of Dust: Part 03: 01:
... . . Along dark veins, like lights the quick dreams run, ...
The House Of Dust: {Complete}
... is I . . . I laugh in the warm bright light of answering laughter, ...
