‘Pathology of Colours'
So in the simple blessing of a rainbow,
In the bevelled adge of a sunlit mirror,
I have seen visible, Death's artifact
Like soldier's ribbon on a tunic tacked.

‘The Lady of Shalott'
She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the Web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
‘The curse is come upon me,' cried
The Lady of Shalott.
