Mine eyes are filled today with old amaze
At mountains, and at meadows deftly strewn
With bits of the gay jewelry of June
And of her splendid vesture; and, agaze,
I stand where Spring her bright brocade of days
Embroidered o'er, and listen to the flow
Of sudden runlets -- the faint blasts they blow,
Low, on their stony bugles, in still ways.
- Mahlon Leonard Fisher, 'Old Amaze'.
"... not for vengeance to cut off from the living but shrouded in the piteous vesture of the past, silent, remote, reproachful."
Joyce, Ulysses, 14
