“His friends he loved. His direst earthly foe - Cats-I believe he did but feign to hate. My hand will miss the insinuated nose, Mine eyes the tail that wagged contempt at Fate.” BelieveHandsEyeHateI BelieveLossFateDogMissingMinesCatNosesGrievingContemptTailsFoe Author:William Watson
“She is not old, she is not young, The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue. The haggard cheek, the hungering eye, The poisoned words that wildly fly, The famished face, the fevered hand, Who slights the worthiest in the land, Sneers at the just, contemns the brave, And blackens goodness in its grave.” HandsEyeFacesYoungLandGoodnessAngerBraveTongueGravesCheeksSerpentSneerHaggard Book:New poems Source: New poems
