Betrayed at length by no one but the fog Whispering to the wing of the plane. "Fountain," I have cried to that unbubbling well, "I will not drink of thy water!" Yet I thirst For a mouthful of-not to swallow, only to rinse my mouth in -peace. And while the eyes of the past condemn, The eyes of the present narrow into assignation. And- worst- The young are so old, they are born with their fingers crossed; I shall get no help from them. American Review | www.PaperLyon.com | McGill Live Radio | Publish
