The Luring Songs of Luvah from the Tower of Song
They dance around the dying & they drink the howl & groan; They catch the shrieks in cups of gold; they hand them to one another. These are the sports of love & these the sweet delights of amorous play: Tears of the grape, the death sweat of the Cluster, the last sigh Of the mild youth who listens to the luring songs of Luvah. (Blake, Vala, Night the Ninth: "Oberon, Titania, Puck Dancing")
"The Allegory of Music"
"The Musician" (Art Deco/Nouveau, 1929)
"And twenty-seven angels / from the Great Beyond, / They tied me to this table / In the Tower of Song."
