The House of Dust; a symphony

Capitolo 33

Making to turn the small brushes in my varnish-cups,
Painting the rosebuds pink and pale, minute violets,
Delicious garlands of green leaves of ivy and ax.
On this leaf, a dream goes me dreamed last night
Of two soft-designate toads--I thought of them stones,
Until them they excited!  And then a great black spider,--
Tarantula, perhaps a horrendous thing,--
It crossed the room in an awful jump.
Here,--as me I wind the stems among two leaves,--
It is as if, decreasing to ransom of atomy,
I cried the secret among two universes. . .
A the friend of my takings once hasheesh, and says

I don't know what is--and so, sometimes,
When I am tired, or you/he/she have not slept three nights,
Or it is cloudy with pluvius low threat,,
I become uncomfortable--only as trees of poplar
Ruffling their leaves--and I start to think
Of poor Pauline, so many years ago,
And that delicious night.  Where is it now?
I meant to write--but she has stirred, from this time,
And then, besides it is probable, that she reveals me he marries.
There is well, more--I am finding old and timid--
The years have bite my wish.  I have lost my nerve!
I don't audaciously strike never as me I used--
But he/she sits here, while painting violets, and he/she remembers
