Jean Toomer - For M.W.Jean Toomer - For M.W.
Work rating: Low


There is no transcience of twilight in      The beauty of your soft dusk-dimpled face,      No flicker of a slender flame in space, In crucibles, fragility crystalline. There is no fragrance of the jessamine      About you, no pathos of some old place      At dusk, that crumbles like moth-eater lace Beneath the touch. Nor has there ever been. Your love is like the folk-song`s flaming rise      In cane-lipped southern people, like their soul             Which burst its bondage in a bold travail; Your voice is like them singing, soft and wise,      Your face, sweetly efflgent of the whole,      Inviolate of ways that would feile.
