Never

by A. S. J. Tessimond

Suddenly, desperately
I thought, “No, never
In millions of minutes
Can I for one second
Calm-leaving my own self
Like clothes on a chair-back
And quietly opening
The door of one house
(No, not one of all millions)
Of blood, flesh and brain,
Climb the nerve-stair and look
From the tower, from the windows
Of eyes not my own: …
No, never, no, never!”

Arthur Seymour John Tessimond

Arthur Seymour John Tessimond (1902 -1962) was an English poet.
