_ZB_here: Yet, perhaps the wind
Blowing some morning through its Eastern gate,
May tell you of my fortune;and behind
The Western star some evening I may see,
As in a vision of far days more kind,
Your dear eyes watching while the night goes blind.

Valtmadm: Laughter And Death - Poem by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt

Of beast or fish or bird, though no sad doubt
Of their futurity to them unfurled
Has dared to check the mirth-compelling shout.
The lion roars his solemn thunder out
To the sleeping woods

My horse a thing of wings, myself a god."

On some fair pinnacle of cloudless song.
