The House of Dust; a symphony

Conrad Potter Aiken

Capitolo 14

I see here once a dark girl who betrayed her.
I see a shade of secret crimes.

'There was a man that came to intention to kill her/it,
And it hid behind to a door and it waited for him;
There was a woman that smiled at you and it lied.
There was a gilded girl that loved Him, it implored Him,
Crawled later you, and it died.

'There is a ghost of murder in Your blood--
Coming or past, I don't know what.
And here is the danger--a woman with sea-green eyes,
And it white-skinned as a witch. . .'

The words hiss in me, as pluvius drops falling
On sleepy fire. . . You smile a smile of meaning.
Suspect eats my brain;  I ask a question;
Anything is walking to on all four to me, anything scurvy;

And suddenly on the wall behind his/her head
I see a monstrous strike of shade and expansion,
The lamp puffs out, a great accidents of hit down.
I dip through the curtain, crossed the dark to the road,
And it feels rapid footsteps retire himself/herself/themselves. . .

The shades are drawn, the door is closed behind me to key.
Behind the door I feel a hammer playing.
I walk in a cloud of wonders;  I am happy.
I mix among the insane one;  my heart is checking the weight;
You don't guess the adventure that I have had! . . .

You all you/he/she has also had still, Your dark adventures,
Your adventures sudden, or strange, or sweet. . .
My danger goes out of me, you/he/she is blown among you.
We linger, while dreaming together, along the road.


V. RETROSPECTIVE LOOK

White clouds and rotundas slowly roll above of the roofs,
On the red and clear roofs they flows and they passes.
A flock of increases of pigeons with blue wings flashing,
You increase with whistle of wings, it circles an instant,
And it establishes again slowly on the blackened grass.

And an old man bewares down of a dusty window
And he/she sees the pigeons that surround on the fountain
And once more it desires to walk among that trees.
Persons in love walk in the noontime from that fountain.
Pigeons bathe their beaks to drink from the water.
And soon the pond has to freeze him.
