The Subway

Dark accurate plunger down the successive

Of arch on arch, where ogives burst a

Reverberance of hail upon the

Thunder like an exploding crucible!

Harshly articulate, musical steel

Of angry worship, hurled

Upon your business of

Into the iron forestries of hell:

Till broken in the shift of

Dense altitudes tangential of your steel,

I am become geometries, and

Expansions like a blind

Dazed, while the worldless heavens bulge and

In the cold revery of an idiot.
