Delmore Schwartz - Phoenix LyricsDelmore Schwartz - Phoenix Lyrics
Work rating: Medium


I If nature is life, nature is death: It is winter as it is spring: Confusion is variety, variety And confusion in everything Make experience the true conclusion Of all desire and opulence, All satisfaction and poverty. II When a hundred years had passed nature seemed to man                a clock Another century sank away and nature seemed a jungle                in a rock And now that nature has become a ticking and hidden                bomb how we must mock Newton, Democritus, the Deity The heart`s ingenuity and the mind`s infinite    uncontrollable                insatiable curiosity. III Purple black cloud at sunset: it is late August and the light begins to look cold, and as we look, listen and look, we hear the first drums of autumn.
