In me, past, present and future
by Siegfried Sassoon
siegfried sassoon (English poet)
in me, past, present, Future meet
talks with me, past, present and future
to hold long chiding conference.
each party holds one meeting. Have disturbed
my lusts us up the present tense
many desires, Grab my present
and strange reason in his seat.
Kill reason on its throne
My loves leap through the future's fence
My love has crossed the fence of the future
to d. Dance with dream-en French feet.
Dream of liberating feet and dancing
In me the cave-man clasps the seer,
for me, The caveman grabbed the Prophet
and Garland Apollo Goes
wearing a wreath of Apollo
Chanting to Abraham's dead ear.
Singing
In me the tiger sniffs to Abraham's deaf ear. The rose.
There is a tiger sniffing roses in my heart
Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble,
Look at my heart, my dear friend, and you should tremble
Because that's where you really are.
