from Kora in Hell
The brutal Lord of All will rip us from each other – leave the one to suffer here alone. No need belief in god or hell to postulate that much. The dance: hands touching, leaves touching – eyes looking, clouds rising – lips touching, cheeks touching, arm about . . . Sleep. Heavy head, heavy arm, heavy dream –: of Ymir's flesh the earth was made and of his thoughts were all the gloomy clouds created. Oya!
– William Carlos Williams (1920)
