INSCRIPTION

He wrote upon his heartAs on the door of some dark ancient house:Who once lived here has long been deadAs dead as moss-grown stoneOnly a ghost inhabits hereOne that would be aloneOnly a ghost inhabits hereA ghost without desireWho sits before a shadowed hearthAnd warms to a spectral fire. . . . . . .
