The bees came booming as if they had never gone,
As if hyacinths had never gone. We say
This changes and that changes. Thus the constant Violets, doves, girls, bees and hyacinths
Are inconstant objects of inconstant cause
In a universe of inconstancy. This means Night-blue is an inconstant thing. The seraph
Is satyr in Saturn, according to his thoughts.
