Breakfast Table... Robert Graves...
Breakfast peremptorily closes
The reign of Night, her dream extravagances
Recalled for laughter only.
Yet here we sit at our own table,
Brooding apart on spells of midnight love
Love irreversable:
Spells that have locked our hearts together,
Never to falter, never again to stray
Into the fierce dichotomy of Day;
Night has a gentler laughter.
