Let the place of the solitaires
Be a place of perpetual undulation.Whether it be in mid-sea
On the dark, green water-wheel,
Or on the beaches,
There must be no cessation
Of motion, or of the noise of motion,
The renewal of noise
And manifold continuation;And, most, of the motion of thought
And its restless iteration,In the place of the solitaires,
Which is to be a place of perpetual undulation.
