The Unpredicted... John Heath-Stubbs...
The goddess Fortune be praised(on her toothed wheel
I have been mincemeat these several years)
Last night, for a whole night, the unpredictable
Lay in my arms, in a tender and unquiet rest-
(I perceive the irrelevance of my former tears)-
Lay, and at dawn departed. I rose and walked the streets
Where a whitsuntide wind blew fresh, and blackbirds
Incontestably sang, and the people were beautiful.
