Nonentity
THE stars that open and shutFall on my shallow breast
Like stars on a pool.
The soft wind, blowing cool
Laps little crest after crest
Of ripples across my breast.
And dark grass under my feet
Seems to dabble in me
Like grass in a brook.
Oh, and it is sweet
To be all these things, not to be
Any more myself.
For look,
I am weary of myself!
(The end)
D. H. Lawrence's poem: Nonentity

AH God, life, law, so many names you keep,You great, you patient Effort, and you SleepThat does inform this various dream of living,You sleep stretched out for ever, ever givingUs out as dreams, you august SleepCoursed round by rhythmic movement of all time,The constellations, your great heart, the sunFierily pulsing, unable to refrain;Since you, vast, outstretched, wordless SleepPermit of no beyond, ah you, whose dreamsWe are, and body of sleep, let it never be saidI quailed at my appointed function, turned poltroonFor when at night, from out the full surchargeOf a day's experience, sleep does slowly drawThe harvest, the spent action

THE sun immense and rosyMust have sunk and become extinctThe night you closed your eyes for ever against me.Grey days, and wan, dree dawningsSince then, with fritter of flowers--Day wearies me with its ostentation and fawnings.Still, you left me the nights,The great dark glittery window,The bubble hemming this empty existence with lights.Still in the vast hollowLike a breath in a bubble spinningBrushing the stars, goes my soul, that skims the bounds like a swallow!I can look throughThe film of the bubble night, to where you are.Through the film I can almost touch you.
