Allen Tate - Ignis Fatuus

Allen Tate - Ignis Fatuus

In the twilight of my audacity br I saw you flee the world, the burnt highways br Of summer gave up their light: I br Followed you with the uncommon span br Of fear-supported and disbursed eyes. br br Towards the dark that harries the tracks br Of dawn I pursued you only. I fell br Companionless. The seething stacks br Of cornstalks, the rat-pillaged meadow br Censured the lunar interior of the night. br br High in what hills, by what illuminations br Are you intelligible? Your fierce latinity br Beyond the nubian bulwark of the sea br Sustains the immaculate sight. br br To the green tissue of the subterranean br Worm I have come back, two-handed from br The chase, and empty.
