Excerpt from The Green Mouse

To
My Friend
John Corbin.

Folly and Wisdom, Heavenly twins,
Sons of the god Imagination,
Heirs of the Virtues - which were Sins
Till Transcendental Contemplation
Transmogrified their outer skins -
Friend, do you follow me? For I
Have lost myself, I don't know why.

Resuming, then, this erudite
And decorative Dedication, -
Accept it, John, with all your might
In Cinquecentic resignation.
You may not understand it, quite,
But if you've followed me all through,
You've done far more than I could do.
