Recklessly you offered me your all,
Recklessly I accepted,
Laying my large world at your childish feet
Beyond all bounds of honourable recall:
Wild, wilful, incomplete.
Absence reintegrates our pact of pacts –
The hoopoe tells us how:
With bold love-magic, Moon in Leo,
Sun in Pisces, blossom upon bough.
[Robert Graves {1895-1985} 'The Hoopoe Tells Us How' from New Collected Poems]
