A Cpazine ot'Verse APRIL, 1913

CONTEMPORANIA

TENZONE

Will people accept them? (i. e. these songs).

As a timorous wench from a centaur (or a centurian),

Already they flee, howling in terror. Will they be touched with the truth?

Their virgin stupidity is untemptable. I beg you, my friendly critics, Do not set about to procure me an audience.

I mate with my free kind upon the crags; the hidden recesses

Have heard the echo of my heels. in the cool light, in the darkness.
