The House of Dust (1916 - 1917)
“Something had changed—but it was not the street—
The street was just the same—it was himself.”
The House of Dust (1916 - 1917)
“From some, the light was scarcely more than a gloom:
From some, a dazzling desire.”
The House of Dust (1916 - 1917)
“One white rose... or is it pink, to-day?”
They pause and smile, not caring what they say,
If only they may talk.
The crowd flows past them like dividing waters.
Dreaming they stand, dreaming they walk.
