Cecil Day Lewis Quote

Desire is a witch
And runs against the clock.
It can unstitich
The decent hem
Where space tacks on to time;
It can unlock
Pandora's privacies.


Transitional Poem (1929)


Desire is a witch And runs against the clock. It can unstitich The decent hem Where space tacks on to time; It can unlock Pandora's privacies.
