Men, Women and Ghosts

by Amy Lowell [American (Massachusetts) poet and critic -- 1874-1925.]






"`. . . See small portions of the Eternal World that ever groweth': . . . .
So sang a Fairy, mocking, as he sat on a streak'd tulip,
Thinking none saw him: when he ceas'd I started from the trees,
And caught him in my hat, as boys knock down a butterfly."
William Blake. "Europe. A Prophecy."
