Knowledge

by Louise Bogan

Louise Bogan

Now that I know
How passion warms little
Of flesh in the mould,
And treasure is brittle,--

I'll lie here and learn

How, over their ground
Trees make a long shadow
And a light sound.

    Epistle to Daniel Shepherd
    by Herman Melville
    To Daniel Shepherd: Come, Shepherd, come and visit me: Come, we'll make it Arcady; Come, if but for charity. Sure, with such a pastoral name, Thee the city should not claim.
