I keep wanting to say it's the one that ends alone on the cold hillside, but I don't think it is, and I don't remember which one that is, anyway.

I remember now!
Date: 18 January 2005 05:51 pm (UTC)"Now -- for a breath I tarry," is from Houseman's Shropshire Lad. Isn't it also the title of a Zelazny story?
And I can't believe that you have Swinburne on your nightstand, is in it an anthology? Or are you a regular Swinburne fan? From, Atalanta in Calydon, "Maiden, and mistress of the months and stars"
I still haven't figured out which Auden that was and I feel like I ought to know this one..."World brood with warm breast and with ah! bright wings" Hopkins perhaps?
