Turn outward, love things, not men, turn right away from humanity,
Let that doll lie.

To feel greatly, and understand greatly, and express greatly, the natural; Beauty, is the sole business of poetry. The rest's diversion those holy or noble sentiments, the intricate ideas, The love, lust, longing reasons, but not the reason.

Shiva... is the only hunter that will ever catch the wild swan; The prey she will take last is the wild white swan of the beauty of things. Then she will be alone, pure destruction, achieved and supreme, Empty darkness under the death-tent wings. She will build a nest of the swan's bones and hatch a new brood, Hang new heavens with new birds, all be renewed.

They have strange quiet,
Integrity, health, soundness, to the full
They've dealt with life and been tempered by it.
