EPICEDE FOR KATHARINE A. ESDAILE

What irregular admixture
Of the elements could so corrupt
This scholar as to rob Nature
Of the chronicler who kept
Death pinned to the pages of Cesare Ripa,
Recording the menu of Death's dry supper.

Too much of earth, perhaps, to keep
This scholar from her quest of death:
Too much water that she had to weep,
Learned tears like the dust that takes by stealth.
Now, alas, I fear she cannot tell
The worm from the obelisk with the flame finial.

Melancholy obsequies,
Put purple on the consoles for a year,
Consider the escutcheon:
Monumental effigies,
Summon a mystical tear
For her who enters the limestone pantheon.

Musical and singing putti,
Keep back fearful Silence
Wit her snakes that writhe and flutter:
Carry to Inteligence
This donor of erudition, from her bier
To the harmonious heavenly spheres.

Forgetfulness is a primitive tribal custom,
In the Flux beyond recorded history,
Thant desolate plaque with anonymous barrows
Where death is shapeless as a flood or phantom.
Against oblivion in the morbid future
I write a name in the foxed register of history,
The name of Esdaile and the summer that borrows
The date nineteen-fifty from her figured contour.

By memory we can outwit
Death who would level
The moron and the scholor:
Complex as a jesuit
The living must rebel
Against the Avatar.
