Text Any textual data included in the document "Freckle-face, fox-head, pod of the broom, Catkin-pixie, little fern-swish: Where did she arrive from? Like a wish wished And gone, her I chose at 'secrets' And whispered to. When we were playing houses. I was sunstruck at the basilica door - A stillness far away, a space, a dish, A blackened tin and knocked over stool - Like a tramped neolithic floor Uncovered among dunes where the bent grass Whispers on like reeds about Midas's Secrets, secrets. I shut my ears to the bell . Head hugged. Eyes shut. Lead ears. Don't tell. Don't tell. A stream of pilgrims answering the bell Trailed up the steps as I went down them Towards the bottle-green, still Shade of an oak. Shades of the Sabine farm On the beds of Saint Patrick's Purgatory. Late summer, country distance, not the air: Loosen the toga for wine and poetry Till Phoebus returning routs the morning star. As a somnolent hymn to Mary rose I felt an old pang that bags of grain And the sloped shafts of forks and hoes Once mocked me with, at my own long virgin Fasts and thirsts, my nightly shadow feasts, Haunting the granaries of words like breasts As if I knelt for years at a keyhole Mad for it, and all that ever opened Was the breathed-on grille of a confessional Until that night I saw her honey-skinned Shoulder-blades and the wheatlands of her back Through the wide keyhole of her keyhole dress And a window facing the deep south of luck Opened and I inhaled the land of kindness As little flowers that were all bowed and shut By the night chills rise on their stems and open As soon as they have felt the touch of sunlight, So I revived in my own wilting powers And my heart flushed, like somebody set free.
