Sigil

~ H.D. (Hilda Doolittle)

Now let the cycle sweep us here and there,

we will not struggle;

somewhere,

under a forest-ledge,

a wild white-pear

will blossom;

somewhere,

under an edge of rock,

a sea will open;

slice of the tide-shelf

will show in coral, yourself,

in conch-shell,

myself;

somewhere,

over a field-hedge,

a wild bird

will lift up wild, wild throat,

and that song heard,

will stifle out this note

and this song note.
