Close your eyes, my love, let me make you blind;
They have taught you to see
only a mean arithmetic on the face of things,
a cunning algebra in the faces of men,
and God like geometry
completing his circles, and working cleverly.

Ill kiss you over the eyes till I kiss you blind;
If I can if any one could.
Then perhaps in the dark youll have got what you want to find.
Youve discovered so many bits, with your clever eyes,
and Im a kaleidoscope
That you shake and shake, and yet it wont come to your mind.
Now stop carping at me But God, how I hate you!
Do you fear I shall swindle you?
Do you think if you take me as I am, that that will abate you
Somehow?so sad, so intrinsic, so spiritual, yet so cautious, you
Must have me all in your will and your consciousness
I hate you.
