And time alone could bring it to an end.

Don Juan
Arcadia is isolate, I said. Intentioned wildness of a dead December forest Punctuates the pasturings; the pull of a Rococo wildness Aching full of fauns takes shape; the shepherdry of sleep, The dreaming Edenward, the feverings, Real shepherds with imaginary sheep.

I dwell no more in Arcady,
But when the sky is blue with May,
And birds were blithe and winds are free,
I know what message is for me,
For I have been in Arcady.
