Allen Tate - The Subway

Allen Tate - The Subway

Dark accurate plunger down the successive knell br Of arch on arch, where ogives burst a red br Reverberance of hail upon the dead br Thunder like an exploding crucible! br Harshly articulate, musical steel shell br Of angry worship, hurled religiously br Upon your business of humility br Into the iron forestries of hell: br br Till broken in the shift of quieter br Dense altitudes tangential of your steel, br I am become geometries, and glut br Expansions like a blind astronomer br Dazed, while the worldless heavens bulge and reel br In the cold revery of an idiot.
