    Whispers of Immortality WEBSTER was much possessed by death And saw the skull beneath the skin; And breastless creatures under ground Leaned backward with a lipless grin. Daffodil bulbs instead of balls 5 Stared from the sockets of the eyes! He knew that thought clings round dead limbs Tightening its lusts and luxuries. Donne, I suppose, was such another Who found no substitute for sense; 10 To seize and clutch and penetrate, Expert beyond experience, He knew the anguish of the marrow The ague of the skeleton; No contact possible to flesh 15 Allayed the fever of the bone. . . . . . . . . Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye Is underlined for emphasis; Uncorseted, her friendly bust Gives promise of pneumatic bliss. 20 The couched Brazilian jaguar Compels the scampering marmoset With subtle effluence of cat; Grishkin has a maisonette; The sleek Brazilian jaguar 25 Does not in its arboreal gloom Distil so rank a feline smell As Grishkin in a drawing-room. And even the Abstract Entities Circumambulate her charm; 30 But our lot crawls between dry ribs To keep our metaphysics warm.

    Whispers of Immortality

    WEBSTER was much possessed by death

    And saw the skull beneath the skin;

    And breastless creatures under ground

    Leaned backward with a lipless grin.



    Daffodil bulbs instead of balls
    5
    Stared from the sockets of the eyes!

    He knew that thought clings round dead limbs
    Tightening its lusts and luxuries.



    Donne, I suppose, was such another

    Who found no substitute for sense;
    10
    To seize and clutch and penetrate,

    Expert beyond experience,



    He knew the anguish of the marrow

    The ague of the skeleton;

    No contact possible to flesh
    15
    Allayed the fever of the bone.
    . . . . . . . .
    Grishkin is nice: her Russian eye

    Is underlined for emphasis;

    Uncorseted, her friendly bust

    Gives promise of pneumatic bliss.
    20


    The couched Brazilian jaguar

    Compels the scampering marmoset

    With subtle effluence of cat;

    Grishkin has a maisonette;



    The sleek Brazilian jaguar
    25
    Does not in its arboreal gloom

    Distil so rank a feline smell

    As Grishkin in a drawing-room.



    And even the Abstract Entities

    Circumambulate her charm;
    30
    But our lot crawls between dry ribs

    To keep our metaphysics warm.
