This is the poem I ransacked gleefully when writing when our falsehoods are divided. AUDEN. TEMPEST. YES.

okay, now i need to read this about ten more times. oh auden, how so fantastic? *_*

& one teeny nitpick, only because it's such a shame for perfect things to be spoilt by typos-i think you mean "nonchalant" in the second line?

i approve so hard of this poetry-posting kick you're on!

Typo fixed now :) Thanks for pointing it out.

The poetry-posting kick is a pact. Or a competition. So far we are tied, but I feel I am losing in spirit because I don't know enough poets who write in non-English languages.

And the silence ripeness,
And the ripeness all.

... yum.
