from Part Five of The Age of Anxiety
The others joined in chorus. Malin cried:
It is safe to endure:
Each flat defect has found its solid
Gift to shadow, each goal its unique
Longing to lure, relatedness its
Invariant base, since Venus has now
Agreed so gladly to guarantee
Plenty of water to the plants this year,
Aid to the beasts, to all human demands
Full satisfaction with fresh structures
For crucial regions.

Quant cried:
A kind word and
A fatherly peak not far away
For city orphans.

Then Rosetta again:
Synchronized watches
And a long lane with a lot of twists
For both sexes.
And Emble:
Barns and shrubberies
For game-playing gangs.
Quant:
Grates full of logs and
Hinterland homes for old proconsuls
And pensioned pairs.
Emble:
Places of silence
For real readers.

A room with a view
For a shut-in-soul.

Malin:
A shady walk
There and back for a thinker or two.
Emble:
A gentle jaunt for dejected nerves
Over warm waters.
Rosetta:
A wild party
Every night for the outgoing classes.
