None may teach it – Any –
Sent us of the Air –
An imperial affliction
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us –
But internal difference –
There's a certain Slant of light,
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
'Tis the seal Despair –
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Of Cathedral Tunes –
Where the Meanings, are –
That oppresses, like the Heft
We can find no scar,
On the look of Death –
Winter Afternoons –
Shadows – hold their breath –
