◊h1{II. A Game of Chess}
|

|

|
And still she cried, and still the world pursues,
|
||
|
|
"Jug Jug" to dirty ears.
|
||
|
|
And other withered stumps of time
|
||
|
|
Were told upon the walls; staring forms
|
||
|
|
Leaned out, leaning, hushing the room enclosed.
|
||
|
|
Footsteps shuffled on the stair,
|
||
|
|
Under the firelight, under the brush, her hair
|
||
|
|
Spread out in fiery points
|
||
|
|
Glowed into words, then would be savagely still.
|
||
|

"My nerves are bad to-night. Yes, bad. Stay with me.
|
||
|
|
Speak to me. Why do you never speak? Speak.
|
||
|
|
What are you thinking of? What thinking? What?
|
||
|
|
I never know what you are thinking. Think."
