Allen Tate - HomilyAllen Tate - Homily
Work rating: Low


If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out If your tired unspeaking head Rivet the dark with linear sight, Crazed by a warlock with his curse Dreamed up in some loquacious bed, And if the stage-dark head rehearse The fifth act of the closing night, Why, cut it off, piece after piece, And throw the tough cortex away, And when you`ve marvelled on the wars That wove their interior smoke its way, Tear out the close vermiculate crease Where death crawled angrily at bay.
