“My Every Holy Grail” by Seraphine Saintclair

"Your hair is disheveled,

Your ribbons are flying,

Your skirts are in tatters.

The music you dance to -

It comes from fiddles bewitched."

- Dance of the Dust Witches, William Haskell Simpson

“Nascent American,

Elvish, lurking among the undergrowth

Of many-stemmed machines and chimneys that smoke like pine-trees…” - The Evening Land, D H Lawrence

Charles Baudelaire, “A Voyage To Cythera”

“I am one of the wind’s stories,

I am a fancy of the rain,

A memory of the high moon’s glories,

The hint the sunset had of pain.” – In Their Image, Muriel Stuart

The Three Fates, Alexander Rothaug

[entropiclight]

“I am so terrified, America,

Of the solid click of your human contact;

And after this

The winding-sheet of your selfless ideal love –

Boundless love,

Like a poison gas.” - The Evening Land, D H Lawrence

"I confess I am afraid of you.

The catastrophe of your exaggerate love,

You who never find yourself in love

But only lose yourself further, decomposing." - The Evening Land, D H Lawrence

This is from Poetry Magazine, November 1922. It's a poem about America for which Lawrence had a certain fascination. (His book on American 19th century writers is still worth reading.) There's a lot of really interesting imagery in the poem, of which these lines are perhaps the most striking.

"He stands outside

The circle of the ghost-fire.

He stands outside

In the cold darkness." - The Carrying of the Ghost, Nelson Antrim Crawford
