    EPIGRAPH: All that glitters is not gold, Often you have heart it told: Many a man his life has sold But my outside to behold: Gilded tombs do worms enfold Had you been as wise as bold, Young in limbs, in judgement old, Your answer had not been in'scroll'd Fare you well: your suit is cold. Cold, indeed, and labour lost: Then, farewell, heat and welcome, frost!

    EPIGRAPH: Sea-Drinking cities have a moon-struck air; Houses are topped with look-outs; as a dog Looks up with dumb eyes asking, dormers stare At stranger-vessels and swart cunning faces. They are touched with long sleeping in the sea-born moon; They have heard fabled sails slatting in the dark, Clearing with no papers, unwritten in any log, Light as thin leaves before the rough typhoon; Keels trace a phosper mark, To allow old ocean-drowned green places.
    FROM: Sea-Drinking Cities, (1927), Poem, US
