Night in Florence, 2019

"Somewhere a ball has closed its doors and ended. Its yellow lights
out, its musicians are silent, it dancers have all gone into the night
air, and Time has said of it, "Let it be past and over, and among the
things that I have put away."

from Bethmoora
by Lord Dunsany

"My streetllamp is so glacially alone in the night,

The small paving stones lay their heads down all around

where it holds up its lightumbrella over them

so that the wicked dark will not come near."
