As intimate as love, as cold as death.”

"The Sisters," lines 13-14
Adamastor (1930)

“We shall not meet again: over the wave
Our ways divide, and yours is straight and endless –
But mine is short and crooked to the grave:
Yet what of these dark crowds, amid whose flow
I battle like a rock, aloof and friendless –
Are not their generations, vague and endless,
The waves, the strides, the feet on which I go?”

Adamastor (1930)

“Of all the clever people round me here
I most delight in Me –
Mine is the only voice I care to hear,
And mine the only face I like to see.”

That moves the nearest to the naked earth
And ploughs down palaces, and thrones, and towers.”

The Wayzgoose, lines 3-4 (1928)

The clear anatomy arrive,
Winter, the paragon of art,
That kills all forms of life and feeling
Save what is pure and will survive.”

Like desert lilies forked with tongues of fire.”

"To a Pet Cobra," lines 23-24
Sons of the Mistral (1926)

“With white tails smoking free,
Long streaming manes, and arching necks, they show
Their kinship to their sisters of the sea –
And forward hurl their thunderbolts of snow.
Still out of hardships bred,
Spirits of power and beauty and delight
Have ever on such frugal pastures fed
And loved to course with tempests through the night.”

Poetry Review (June-July 1949)

“You praise the firm restraint with which they write –
I'm with you there, of course:
They use the snaffle and the curb all right,
But where's the bloody horse?”
