Amy Lowell - The StarlingAmy Lowell - The Starling
Work rating: Medium


Forever the impenetrable wall Of self confines my poor rebellious soul, I never see the towering white clouds roll Before a sturdy wind, save through the small Barred window of my jail. I live a thrall With all my outer life a clipped, square hole, Rectangular; a fraction of a scroll Unwound and winding like a worsted ball. My thoughts are grown uneager and depressed  Through being always mine, my fancy`s wings Are moulted and the feathers blown away. I weary for desires never guessed,  For alien passions, strange imaginings, To be some other person for a day.
