The House of Dust; a symphony

Capitolo 3

With clamor of bawls and innumerable faces. . .
And it seemed to him of a sudden, that he would drown,
Here in the quiet of air in the evening,
These empty places and without voice. . .
And he expedited toward the city to enter there.

Along the road of darkening, among tall trees
That made a left whispers, noisily he walked.
Behind him, sea-gulls bathed on grey and long seas.
In front of him, in love innumerable they smiled, and they spoke.
It is dead you/he/she was observed with to whine sudden,
It is birth with laughter and the pain.
And the trees grew taller and more black against the skies

Seizing himself/herself/itself likes bright birds to the sides of cliffs,
The yellow lights went climbing toward the sky.
From black and tall walls, vaguely sparkling with rain,

And some strange shades threw.

And behind them all the ghosts of thoughts went moving himself/herself/itself,
Moving uneasily himself/herself/itself in every room of lamplit,
From chair to mirror, from mirror to shoot;
From some, the light was as soon as more than an obscurity:
From some, a dazzling desire.

And there was one, under of black eaves that he/she thought,
Combing with arm lifted his/her gilded hair,
Of the person in love that expedited verse her through the night;
And there was one that dreamed of a sudden death
As she extinguished his/her light.

And there was one who turned to ask roads to great voice,
And it walked in gardens of lamplit among you plant with trees black,
And it looked at the windy sky,
It is thought with terror as stones and roots they would freeze him
And birds in to whine of branches dead. . .

And she expedited again, as skin of snow, mixed with rain,
To mix again among the insane one,
To push under of lamps of blue along the road;
