Chapter 28
Beauty and Beauty by Rupert Brooke read for LibriVox.org by Anusha Iyer When beauty and beauty meet, all naked, fair to fair, The earth is crying sweet and scattering bright the air, Eddying, dizzying, closing round, with soft and drunken laughter,
Veiling all that may befall after, after. Where beauty and beauty met, earth still a tremble there, And winds are scented yet, and memories soft the air, Boozoming, folding glints of light, and shreds of shadowy laughter, Not the tears that fill the years after, after.
