[Revised.] Gradually the house across the way grew dimmer and brighter, appreciating the stars, as languidly dropped the words they would have it say, long in the lucubrations of new lovers, who sat outside, all hours of the night, to watch the seasons pass and sense the feelings of being, divinity untangled from the light squeezed by the tabula rasa of its ceilings. Gradually, grown troubled and vexed by poison, that could not go unnoticed or unencountered, the fiend undid the gossamer thread of reason, and the whole season panicked as it floundered. Desperate with disappointment she duly countered, breaking her pact with the sun, and moon, and stars. Tried without sentence, the heavenly funeral biers shed disapproval crashing where they sauntered. Now she goes, alone with her cats and fancies. Her final word has dealt them a fatal blow. No more of dances, dresses, or of chances. And God has folded up to see them go. Then as he changed, for each was forlorn and broken, he marvelled at the fierceness of her reply, that she should truly wish to let them die, saving no shred or scrap of any token, and their flush season never more go spoken. The school yard and the flowers and the grasses, averted their eyes to prospect such cold shrinkage, now never more each stranger here who passes, will ponder the eternities of perfect linkage. To see her face cracked out with frantic horror, you would be broken too at calm so crippled, to know there isnt any more tomorrow, just two cats, sullen and indifferently nippled. Yet there they lie, prostrate, without recourses, ploughing the winds of empty solitudes, not knowing to what degree to feel remorses, or savour the absence of their finer moods. No more the bagpipes breathing through the city, the peopled monuments now all unclaimed by joyous chatter, eaten up by pity, no more the great love which was duly famed. She, one supposes, now has been retired to simple acts, to duties and to sleep, while his lot is incognizably mired in the immense unanswerable deep.
