See, see where Christ's blood streames in the firmament:
It flows from the Brow we nailed upon the tree Deep to the dying, to the thirsting heart
That holds the fires of the world, — dark-smirched with pain
As Caesar's laurel crown. Then sounds the voice of One who like the heart of man
Was once a child who among beasts has lain —
"Still do I love, still shed my innocent light, my Blood, for thee."

Edith Sitwell

The living blind and seeing Dead together lie
As if in love... There was no more hating then,
And no more love; Gone is the heart of Man.

Edith Sitwell

Oh you, the hour when the work of the world, the hunt for our food, is done —
Love me, my ultimate Darkness, kiss me, my infinite Sun!

Edith Sitwell

Remember only this of our hopeless love
That never till Time is done
Will the fire of the heart and the fire of the mind be one.
