Thought and Melancholia
Thought and Melancholia
We are but a beautiful melody
the haunting strains
half forgotten,
but yet we do remember
it was a mighty tune
and had a wonderful refrain. . . .
We are but the gleam on old silver
thrown into a pit of dung,
fantastically bent and tortured—
but yet we do see
a pattern through the rust...
