John Berryman-Dream Song 77
| Berryman, John "Dream Song 77" |
|
Seedy Henry rose up shy in de world & shaved & swung his barbells, duded Henry up and p.a.'d poor thousands of persons on topics of grand moment to Henry, ah to those less & none. Wif a book of his in either hand he is stript down to move on. --Come away, Mr. Bones. --Henry is tired of the winter, & haircuts, & a squeamish comfy ruin-prone proud national mind, & Spring (in the city so called). Henry likes Fall. Hé would be prepared to líve in a world of Fáll for ever, impenitent Henry. But the snows and summers grieve & dream; thése fierce & airy occupations, and love, raved away so many of Henry's years it is a wonder that, with in each hand one of his own mad books and all, ancient fires for eyes, his head full & his heart full, he's making ready to move on. |
