3071. LACHRYMAE CHRISTI (with Hart Crane)

LACHRYMAE CHRISTI
(with Hart Crane)
'Sphinxes loosed from the
wine of Death have freed
my tongue from bondage.
I now can speak - without
the fear of punishment
or whip. Nature itself can
weep these human tears and,
now, with me, even the stones
can learn to speak (of all
that which I am seeing).'
