Twittering through the Woods
More than all the print I have read in my life,
At home in the fleet of ice-boats, she
Unscrews the doors themselves from their jambs!
Resisting anything better than her own university, she shares an
Endless unfolding of words of ages, and if
Each and all be aware I sit content, because there is
Never any more inception than there is now.
Just twittering through the woods. “Smile
O voluptuous cool-breath’d earth!” and
“Hurrah for positive science!” Cheerfully take it
Now. With behavior lawless as
Snow-flakes, the spinning-girl retreats, scooting
Obliquely. We chant the chant,
“Never enough! enough! enough!”
