Fragments
I
Locke sank into a swoon;
The Garden died;
God took the spinning-jenny
Out of his side.
The Garden died;
God took the spinning-jenny
Out of his side.
II
Where got I that truth?
Out of a medium's mouth,
Out of nothing it came,
Out of the forest loam,
Out of dark night where lay
Out of the forest loam,
Out of dark night where lay
The crowns of Nineveh.
– W.B. Yeats (1928)
