Can we believe—by an effort<br />
comfort our hearts:<br />
it is not waste all this,<br />
not placed here in disgust,<br />
street after street,<br />
each patterned alike,<br />
no grace to lighten<br />
a single house of the hundred<br />
crowded into one garden-space.<br />

<poem><br />
Crowded—can we believe,<br />
not in utter disgust,<br />
in ironical play—<br />
but the maker of cities grew faint<br />
with the beauty of temple<br />
and space before temple,<br />
arch upon perfect arch,<br />
of pillars and corridors that led out<br />
to strange court-yards and porches<br />
where sun-light stamped<br />
hyacinth-shadows<br />
black on the pavement.<br />
</poem><br />
</paragraph><br />
<br />
<br />
<paragraph keywords="urban, town, metaphor, plant, tree, roadside, road, affect"><br />
<poem><br />
That the maker of cities grew faint<br />
with the splendour of palaces,<br />
paused while the incense-flowers<br />
from the incense-trees<br />
dropped on the marble-walk,<br />
thought anew, fashioned this—<br />
street after street alike.<br />
</poem><br />
</paragraph><br />
<br />
<br />
<paragraph keywords=""><br />
<poem><br />
For alas,<br />
he had crowded the city so full<br />
that men could not grasp beauty,<br />
beauty was over them,<br />
through them, about them,<br />
no crevice unpacked with the honey,<br />
rare, measureless.<br />
</poem><br />
</paragraph><br />

<br />
<paragraph keywords=""><br />
<poem><br />
So he built a new city,<br />
ah can we believe, not ironically<br />
but for new splendour<br />
constructed new people<br />
to lift through slow growth<br />
to a beauty unrivalled yet—<br />
and created new cells,<br />
hideous first, hideous now—<br />
spread larve across them,<br />
not honey but seething life.<br />
</poem><br />

And in these dark cells,<br />
packed street after street,<br />
souls live, hideous yet—<br />
O disfigured, defaced,<br />
with no trace of the beauty<br />
men once held so light.<br />

Can we think a few old cells<br />
were left—we are left—<br />
grains of honey,<br />
old dust of stray pollen<br />
dull on our torn wings,<br />
we are left to recall the old streets ?<br />

Is our task the less sweet<br />

You are useless. We live.<br />

of our young future strength.<br />

Though they sleep or wake to torment<br />
