O’ the incorrupted coil

Enfleshed & dying evermore

Ambivalence ~ A Familiar to the nithe

Hung upon unshaded verdancies of Autumn

Athwart, splenetic Soul girns

Passers-by
Spiracle of distempered genius
Bound, fitful, & withdrawn

Celebrate melancholie
Optic of contemporaneous humours
Dernful & excretitious

Keats’ Sovran hast of mine those spoils strewn

Against the pillar in the desolate field
Where phantoms of the pitiless Moon plaint their unremembrance
