Tombstone at Greenwich Cemetery, Savannah
Another song/poem from a while back:
Handouts scattered from the sky
What they say . . .
But they lie
Your eyes lie
As you do
Words are written in the halls
On the walls
But they lie
Like your eyes lie
Like you do
Sounds make pictures in my head
Noise like words
But they lie
So do your eyes
And so do you
Letters written by your hand
Don’t describe
Because they lie
Because your eyes lie
Because you do

Nevermore with a badly rusted angel in the graveyard at the Church of Ireland in Glencolmcille, County Donegal.
Naturally, Nevermore made the trip to Ireland with me. Here are a couple of photos from that trip:
Nevermore first visited Yeats’ grave in Drumcliff, County Sligo.
Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath;
He knows death to the bone
Man has created death.
~~William Butler Yeats
Nevermore in front of a gravestone in the abbey at Glendalough, County Wicklow.

Corinne at Savannah’s Bonaventure Cemetery
Escape me?
Never—
Beloved!
While I am I, and you are you,
So long as the world contains us both,
Me the loving and you the loth,
While the one eludes, must the other pursue.
My life is a fault at last, I fear:
It seems too much like a fate, indeed!
Though I do my best I shall scarce succeed.
But what if I fail of my purpose here?
It is but to keep the nerves at strain,
To dry one’s eyes and laugh at a fall,
And baffled, get up to begin again,—
So the chase takes up one’s life, that’s all.
While, look but once from your farthest bound,
At me so deep in the dust and dark,
No sooner the old hope drops to ground
Than a new one, straight to the selfsame mark,
I shape me—
Ever
Removed!
~~Robert Browning
