American poet (1898-1943)
There is a wilderness we walk alone
However well-companioned

Western Star
There was no pain when I awoke,
No pain at all. Rest, like a goad,
Spurred my eyes open -- and light broke
Upon them like a million swords:
And she was there. There are no words.
Heaven is for a moment's span.
And ever.

For Lethe is for no man set,
And in Hell may no man forget.

The fight was done. Even gods tire of fighting.
