autark বলেছেন...: I am swinging in the sky,
I am wringing worlds awry;
I am the thought of the throbbing mills,
I am the soul of the soul-toil kills,
Wraith of the ripple of trading rills;
Up I’m curling from the sod,
I am whirling home to God;
I am the Smoke King
I am black.
I am the Smoke King
I am black!
I am wreathing broken hearts,
I am sheathing love’s light darts;
Inspiration of iron times
Wedding the toil of toiling climes,
Shedding the blood of bloodless crimes
Lurid lowering ’mid the blue,Torrid towering toward the true,
I am the Smoke King
I am black.
I am the Smoke King
I am black!
I am darkening with song, I am hearkening to wrong!

Trooper York বলেছেন...: Instead of the poems I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this city of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Old New York as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite dead, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in life.

know, were underprivileged anyway, so this--this (she

Ann Althouse বলেছেন...: It actually was that blue. I turned up the saturation a little but didn't change the hue or "temperature."; ২৪/১০/০৭, ৪:১৯ PM
