Siegfried Sassoon - In Me, Past, Present, Future meetSiegfried Sassoon - In Me, Past, Present, Future meet
Work rating: Low


In me, past, present, future meet To hold long chiding conference. My lusts usurp the present tense And strangle Reason in his seat. My loves leap through the future’s fence To dance with dream-enfranchised feet. In me the cave-man clasps the seer, And garlanded Apollo goes Chanting to Abraham’s deaf ear. In me the tiger sniffs the rose.  Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble,  Since there your elements assemble.
