Like sea-foam dancing
in the upward swing
of whirling waves waves
that heave against each other
Your silken thoughts tremble upward
Upon the tumbling passion of your life, and die.

But when you bent,
inviting a flower
to grace a corner of your mind,
the sea-foam stayed,
and the waves appeared.

- Hart Crane
