Quote #4

More from Adelaide Crapsey

  1. Listen. With faint dry sound, Like steps of passing ghosts, The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees And fall.
  2. Artists give us not conclusions but evidence.
  3. These be Three silent things: The falling snow...the hour Before the dawn...the mouth of one Just dead.
  4. The old Old winds that blew When chaos was, what do They tell the clattered trees that I Should weep?
