Worlds of black-white and love-hate?

Are encased, in?

Keats' Nightingale,

Thornfield's ghost,

Alice's rabbit?

And the big wide hole.

In languages?

From Korea, Japan and Spain,

Russia, France, and Germany...

All that you can obtain!

Arthur with Excalibur

Ascends his throne,

Our monk banishes the monkey

For the Lady of Bones.

I have bibles, legends, and fairy-tales,

Words from sages throughout ages,

And the truths?

That a handful?

Lived to tell!

O my vast, ruby bookshelf.
