The man was a cat, the fine thought had stayed with him for ever,
Even when he’d drunk his life away he was still not dead:
How can I ever tell what that strange vision is?
A priestess, too much weary for her holy mind,
Dancing about in a crowd of women, half seducing,
And lost in a dream of trying to woo one husband.
And as she’s dying a gorgeous and graceful dove
Starts to take her into its huge and shining body.
A black and green mist of the rich green creepers appears.
It was a face, like a vast softness of living plant,
Like one springing from the earth
