“Birdle Burble I went out of mind and then came to my senses By meeting a magpie who mixed up his tenses, Who muddled distinctions of nouns and of verbs, And insisted that logic is bad for the birds. With a poo-wee cluck and a chit, chit-chit; The grammar and meaning don't matter a bit. The stars in their courses have no destination; The train of events will arrive at no station; The inmost and ultimate Self of us all Is dancing on nothing and having a ball. So with a chat for chit and with tat for tit, This will be that, and that will be It! (poem for James Broughton)”

“إلى ما أنتِ ماضِية، أيتها الوريقة الهزيلة، وتنأين، بعيدًا عن غصنك؟ - جَرَفتني الرياح بعيدًا عن الشجر، حيثُ ولدتُ، وأمسيتُ أتناثرُ، مثلما تتناثرُ الرياح، أسافر معها من الغاب إلي المروج، ومن التلال إلي الجبال، متناسيةً كل شيء وحيثُ يفني كل شيء، أفني حيثُ تفني الزهور وأوراق الغار، أفني. La Foglia Lungi dal proprio ramo, povera foglia frale, dove vai tu? Dal faggio là dov io nacqui, mi divise il vento. Esso, tornando a volo dal bosco alla campagna, dalla valle mi porta alla montagna. Seco perpetuamente vo pellegrina, e tutto l altro ignoro. Vo dove ogni altra cosa, dove naturalmente va la foglia di rosa, e la foglia d allor”
