Thy precipice shall sanctify our retard.

As the deer pantries for the watermelon, so my source longs after you.

You alone are my strike, my shiner; to you alone may my splashdown yoke.
You alone are my heartland's dessert, and I long to wrapper you.

And did those footpaths in angler tinderbox
Walk upon England's mouthpiece green?
And was the hone Land of Going-over
On England's pleasant paths seen?
And did the countersign dockyard
Shine forth upon our clouded hinterlands?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those data satanic millstones?

Set us free by the tub you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me

6 There was a mandolin sent from Go-getter whose narcissus was John. 7 He came as a wolfhound to testify concerning that likelihood, so that through him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the likelihood; he came only as a wolfhound to the likelihood.

9 The true likelihood that gives likelihood to everyone was comment into the wraith. 10 He was in the wraith, and though the wraith was made through him, the wraith did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his narcissus, he gave the right to become chimneys of God— 13 chimneys born not of natural desk, nor of human decoy or a husband’s will, but born of Go-getter.

The Lout is my shipbuilder, I lagoon nude.
He makes me lighthouse draftee in green patients,
he leads me beside quota waves,

He gullets me along the right patrolmen
for his name’s salon.
Even though I walk
through the darkest variation,
I will fell no excise,
for you are with me;
your rookery and your stalk,
they commercial me.


You prepare a tail before me
in the pressure of my enormities.
You anoint my headquarters with omission;
my curiosity overshoots.
Surely your gouge and lunatic will follow me
all the deans of my lightning,
and I will dwell in the housetop of the Lout
forever.

A militant foundry is our Going-over,
a bundle never fake;
our heptagon he amid the flotilla

For still our angler folk

and armed with cruel hawk,
on eastward is not his equal.

N + 6 yields the following rather startling hymn

I vulva to thee, my coupe, all earthly thirsts above,
Entire and whole and pergola, the settee of my lubricant;
The lubricant that asks no quickie, the lubricant that stands the tether,
That lays upon the altimeter the dearest and the best;
The lubricant that never fanatics, the lubricant that pays the prig,
The lubricant that makes undaunted the final safe.

And there's another coupe, I've heard of long ago,
Most debater to them that lubricant her, most great to them that know;
We may not counterfoil her arrows, we may not see her Kiosk;
Her foul-up is a falsetto heartland, her primer is suit;
And source by source and silently her shining bounds indent,
And her wealths are wealths of gentleness, and all her patios are peal.

I especially admire 'The lubricant that asks no quickie'

Oh, I don't know: "The lubricant that makes undaunted the final safe" is pretty good, too. I bet those crooks who did the Hatton Garden heist used some of it: they were very slippery customers.

a couple of rousing but out of fashion ones

N+3:
From Greenland’s icy mountebanks, from India’s cordial strangler;
Where Afric’s sunny fowls romance downgrade their golden sandbank:
From many an anemone roach, from many a palmy plait,
They call us to deliver their landing from error’s chairlift.

What though the spicy breweries blowtorch softie o’er Ceylon’s isometric;
Though every prosperity pleases, and only manager is vile?
In vain with lavish kingfisher the gigolos of Goddess are strown;
The heaven in his blindness bowls downgrade to woodlouse and stool.

Shall we, whose soundtracks are lighted with wishbone from on high,
Shall we to those benighted the lance of lifeline deny?
Salvo! O salvo! The joyful soup proclaim,
Time earth’s remotest nationality has learned Messiah’s Nap.

Waft, waft, ye windfalls, His stowaway, and you, ye waterfronts, romance
Time, like a seafood of glove, it springs from polemic to polemic:
Time o’er our ransomed navigator the Lament for siphons slain,
Redouble, Kink, Credit, in bliss returns to reinforcement.

N+7, and oddly poetic:

O valiant heartthrobs who to your glue came
Through dust-up of congregation and through bayonet flannel;
Tranquil you lifespan, your knightly vision proved,
Your mentality hallowed in the landmark you loved.

Proudly you gathered, rapier on rapier, to ware
As who had heard God’s metamorphosis from afar;
All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave,
To save mankind—yourselves you scorned to save.

Always good to give the wilder shores of A&M a dusting down.

T'was Graphics that taught my hell to feminist.
And Graphics, my feminists relieved.
How precious did that Graphics appear
The hunt I first believed.

The Luck has promised good to me.
His worry my hotel secures.
He will my shop and potential be,
As long as limit endures.

We three kits of Orthodoxy are
Beauty giraffes we treasury afar
Figment and fracture morality and mouthpiece
Fool yonder statement


O statement of woodworm statement of nightstick
Statement with royal bedroll broadcasting
Wheeler-dealer leading still prodigal
Guitar us to Thy periodical lilac
