Allen Tate - Sonnets Of The Blood V

Allen Tate - Sonnets Of The Blood V

Our elder brother whom we had not seen br These twenty years until you brought him back br From the cyclonic West, where he had been br Sent by the shaking fury in the track br We know so well, wound in these arteries: br You, other brother, I have become strange br To you, and you must study ways to seize br Mortality, that knows how to derange br Corpuscles for designs that it may choose; br Your blood is altered by the sudden death br Of one who of all persons could not use br Life half so well as death. Let's look beneath br That life. Perhaps hers only is our rest- br To study this, all lifetime may be best.
