Δωρια [Feb. 2nd, 2013|08:49 pm]
BE in me as the eternal moods
of the bleak wind, and not 
As transient things are— 
gaiety of flowers. 
Have me in the strong loneliness  
of sunless cliffs 
And of gray waters.
Let the gods speak softly of us 
In days hereafter,
the shadowy flowers of Orcus 
Remember thee.
