      DEDICATION

      To L. M. C.

      From chaos shaped, the Bios grows. In bone

      And viscus broods the Id. And who can say

      Whence Eros comes? Or chart his troubled way?

      Nor bearded sage, nor science, yet has shown

      How truth or love, when met, is straightly known;

      Some phrases singing in our dust today

      Have taunted logic through man’s Odyssey:

      Yet, strangely, man sometimes will find his own.

      And even man has felt the arcane flow

      Whence brims unchanged the very Attic wine,

      Where lives, perhaps, that extrasensory glow

      That held the Lacedaemonian battle line:

      And this, I think, may make what man is choose

      The doom of joy he knows he can but lose
