from The Black Swan

Though the black swan's arched neck is like
        A question-mark on the lake,
The swan outlaws all possible questioning:
A thing in itself, like love, like submarine
Disaster, or the first sound when we wake;
        And the swan-song it sings
    Is the huge silence of the swan.

– James Merrill (1946)
