Why do you follow me? Any moment I can be Nothing but a laurel-tree. Any moment of the chase I can leave you in my place A pink bough for your embrace. Yet if over hill and hollow Still it is your will to follow, I am off; --to heel, Apollo!

To me, one silly task is like another. I bare the shambling tricks of lust and pride. This flesh will never give a child its mother,-- Song, like a wing, tears through my breast, my side, And madness chooses out my voice again, Again. I am the chosen no hand saves: The shrieking heaven lifted over men, Not the dumb earth, wherein they set their graves.
