What did learned Coleridge know
in the fastness of his heart
that turnd him from the spirit world
to the years of ceaseless talk?
Who followd after Christabel
and waited at the door?
What brightness of the air would come
if he wrote more?
An angelic doctor stood guard
against the bright bright rain,
and gave him opium to ease
immortal pain.
(1955)
Apex of the M 6 (Fall 1997): 141-142.
