"I got the Weary Blues And I can't be satisfied." ~Langston Hughes~ (Do you get the association?) (I didn't have the energy to find Ted Hughes, so I went for Langston, who is in Bartlett's. I guess you knew that.)

Ballade At Thirty-Five This, no song of an ingenue, This, no ballad of innocence; This, the rhyme of a lady who Followed ever her natural bents. This, a solo of sapience, This, a chantey of sophistry, This, the sum of experiments I loved them until they loved me. Decked in garments of sable hue, Daubed with ashes of myriad Lents, Wearing shower bouquets of rue, Walk I ever in penitence. Oft I roam, as my heart repents, Through God's acre of memory, Marking stones, in my reverence, "I loved them until they loved me." Pictures pass me in long review Marching columns of dead events. I was tender and, often, true; Ever a prey to coincidence. Always knew I the consequence; Always saw what the end would be. We're as Nature has made us - hence I loved them until they loved me. ~dorothy parker~
