Mine Soul Singeth — Thus Singeth. Mine Soul — This Is What Mine Soul Singeth:
His hair is molten gold and a red pelt —
His hair is glorious! Yea — mine soul — and he brushes it and combeth it — he maketh it shining and glistening around his head — and he is vain about it — but alas — mine soul — his hair is without sense — his hair does not live — it is no revelation, no symbol! He is not gold — not animal — not GOLDEN animal — he is GILDED animal only — mine soul! his vanity is without sense — it is the vanity of one who has little and who weareth a treasure meaningless! O — mine soul — THAT soulless beauty maketh me sad! " His nostrils " — singeth mine soul — " his nostrils! " seeest thou not the sweep of the scythe with which they curveth up his cheek swiftly? Iron — mine soul — cast-iron! his nostrils maketh me sad! there is no breath of the animal that they may quiver? they do not curve swiftly — the scythe moveth — mine soul — they are still — they are motionless like death!
