- Poetry > SonnetI stand asleep and staring at my feet: Two soles so lost and may ne'er tarry-- Where dreams and premonition meet And to where does a restless mind carry? Talent wasted on frivolity Dwindling hope like spider-webs so spin Gambling future, a mere uncertainty. The soul's a wretch who h...

There was a stuffy excitement and the unintelligible commotion all around....
