EPIGRAPH: And so it was I entered the broken world
To trace the visionary company of love, its voice
An instant in the wind (I know not whither buried)
But not for long to hold each desperate choice

EPIGRAPH: … You shall search them all.

And watch the curtain rise in hell’s despite;
You’ll find the garden in the third act dead,
Finger your knees — and wish yourself in bed
With tabloid crime-sheets perched in easy sight.
