Faces

1

 Sauntering the pavement or riding the country by-road, faces!
 Faces of friendship, precision, caution, suavity, ideality,
 The spiritual-prescient face, the always welcome common benevolent face,
 The face of the singing of music, the grand faces of natural lawyers
 and judges broad at the back-top,
 The faces of hunters and fishers bulged at the brows, the shaved
 blanch'd faces of orthodox citizens,
 The pure, extravagant, yearning, questioning artist's face,
 The ugly face of some beautiful soul, the handsome detested or
 despised face,
 The sacred faces of infants, the illuminated face of the mother of
 many children,
 The face of an amour, the face of veneration,
 The face as of a dream, the face of an immobile rock,
 The face withdrawn of its good and bad, a castrated face,
 A wild hawk, his wings clipp'd by the clipper,
 A stallion that yielded at last to the thongs and knife of the gelder.
 
 Sauntering the pavement thus, or crossing the ceaseless ferry, faces
 and faces and faces,
 I see them and complain not, and am content with all.
