He's come out of the man and he's let the man go - the liar Dead his eyes rolled up out of the light - a mockery which love cannot touch - just bury it and hide its face for shame. (William Carlos Williams)

He's come out of the man and he's let the man go - the liar Dead his eyes rolled up out of the light - a mockery which love cannot touch - just bury it and hide its face for shame.
