Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The Condemned: The Mercy of God; Two Poems of Crisis

And the last moment come that we must tot The balance up, for and against the world, That we should die to pains and hatreds, pass Clean out of this dark vault of ruined hopes. There's a deep kindness in this hurried death Which takes us by the throat and flings us out Where no remembrance is of traitor passion, And all's smoothed like a level lawn at night, Where we nor joy nor trouble, but lie still As water draining darkly through the earth. So little love is there to hold me back, So frail a thread I shall not feel it snap When the rope pulls taut and I am left to dangle, So little love, 0 God, and so much hate To bid me plunge blindfold from its lurid glare Into the deepest pit, to burn away In a livid dusk of lime.

Yet I would write Somewhat before I die. It is not just My name should bear the cr0p of weedy lies Men's tongues sow broadcast in a shallow soil. They judge but ill who judge not from the heart, And none have known my heart, save one perhaps, Who broke it in her hands as worthless ware.
