And no one winds it.<br>In one room fade grey violets in a vase.<br>Snow flakes faintly hiss and melt on the window.<br>In one room, minute by minute, the flutist plays<br>The lamplit page of music, the tireless scales.<br>His hands are trembling, his short breath fails.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">In one room, silently, lover looks upon lover,<br>And thinks the air is fire.<br>The drunkard swears and touches the harlot's heartstrings<br>With the sudden hand of desire.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And one goes late in the streets, and thinks of murder;<br>And one lies staring, and thinks of death.<br>And one, who has suffered, clenches her hands despairing,<br>And holds her breath . . .</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Who are all these, who flow in the veins of the city,<br>Coil and revolve and dream,<br>Vanish or gleam?<br>Some mount up to the brain and flower in fire.<br>Some are destroyed; some die; some slowly stream.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the new are born who desire to destroy the old;<br>And fires are kindled and quenched; and dreams are broken,<br>And walls flung down . . .<br>And the slow night whirls in snow over towers of dreamers,<br>And whiteness hushes the town.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Conrad+Potter+Aiken">Conrad Potter Aiken</a><div class=q>

The trodden grass in the park is covered with white,
The streets grow silent beneath our feet . ..."></div>
