And farther south
On the tiles of Kyoto.

And yet with neither love nor hate,
Those stars like some snow-white
Minerva's snow-white marble eyes
Without the gift of sight.

It is the sea that whitens the roof.
The sea drifts through the winter air.
It is the sea that the north wind makes.
The sea is in the falling snow.
This gloom is the darkness of the sea.
(Wallace Stevens (1879-1955), U.S. poet. "The Man with the Blue Guitar.")

you that is lifted
limp and ardent
off the dark snow
and shoved in, and driven away.
