"Siege," Edna St. Vincent Millay
This I do, being mad:
Gather baubles about me,
Sit in a circle of toys, and all this time
Death beating the door in.
White jade and an orange pitcher,
Hindu idol, Chinese god, —
Maybe next year, when I’m richer—
Carved beads and a lotus pod. . . .
And all this time
Death beating the door in.
