Without any conversation,

I have met them at close of day
Coming with vivid faces
From counter or desk among grey

Polite meaningless words,

'Tis morning; and the sun, with ruddy orb
Ascending, fires th' horizon: while the clouds,
That crowd away before the driving wind,
More ardent as the disk emerges more,
Resemble most some city in a blaze,
Seen through the leafless wood. His... (Read full poem)
