from With Garb of Proof
" – with garb of proof shield me from out the prease
Of those fierce darts Despair at me doth throw"
"With garb of proof" – but where, in our time, find
Armor invisible, chain-mail for the heart
Against all flight of evil, each fierce dart
Tipped with peculiar poison, in a wind
Implacable, incessant, and combined
With sleet-sting, gnat-bite? What surpassing art
Can stop, break, turn, that arrow fire, or part
That cloud of menace-motes around the mind?
– Rolfe Humphries (1969)
