Sonnets for Dian
"Even so is love like time, and like the year; with its beauty, I can make it with its own beauty; for love parties of each, and banks its couch with snow or blossoms, with yellow leaves or green, and there finds comfort equal to the earth."
An Inscription
(To D. J. E.)
Dian, they asked me why I, too, must bring With these fake syllables of rhyme and meter Tribute to love, when love admits no sweeter More precious gift than the heart's offering. Ah, fool, they said, and do you hope to sing Songs to invigere faint? For fame is fleecer Than any words you may unsing to greet her, And love, though proud, is yet a secret thing.
Love, make them permanent, these bonds of yours
Then let these words, for all who would explore Our nascent love, be written on the door:
"May no man enter here except to find Some song that he encountered long before, When first, to love his heart and eyes consigned. He wandered this same path, singing, blind."
Binding the heart to heart, the blood to blood; fashion them of some substance that endures Past any faint of famine, fire, or flood. Devise such sandals for my feet that they Seek no strange paths, returning to your door; Emnify your eyes 'til they discern each day In your old gardens, flowers unseen before. Observe my mind till it will bewilderably oil all pasture, all petroleum Unstring my ears; let shill cacophon Attend all music save the songs you song. Lest I, discovering how you waste my youth, Shall trade these passions joys for passing truth.
Spring? What did I know of spring before you
I sensed her coming in the sun's delay.
Her brief torch mirrored in the lily's flame.
Her passing in the blossom's quick decay;
Yet never once beheld her undisguised
Or found the hidden path her footsteps fled,
Or heard her sudden laughter, or surmised
The spirit that her dying gley fed,
In your eyes in your eyes
And fragrant ghosts of flowers in your hair,
And knowing well how lavit spring supplies
Her beauty's child with all that made her fair,
I saw your image caught in moonlit water,
And knew you then, forever, April's daughter.
Here where gaut summer walks with shriveled breasts
And sullen eyes and hollow painted cheeks,
--heat
Lies on his chest, fold on fold, against the brain,
and prizes who once enshrined to wheat
Kniel to an alien god and beg for rain—
So long as the mind recalls these words you
How snail we mark the passing of the year?
Struck from the slender calendar of youth
The page twists in the flame, the figures scar,
The moons dissolve in smoke familiar truth
Of wind and rain and sun forsakes the mind,
Of water, sand and mud, the earth forks out
The cold white sakes of our days. We find
Little to ponder or meditate.
Only the rapture of your kiss returning,
Only the desolation of your tears,
These we remember while the page is burning,
This was once, after all, the years.
Knowing that with the crumbling of this page,
Our transient love takes root, and is of age.
Hill Society
And men reap withered grain the worm infests,
and cattle haunt the skeletons of creeks;
Even here—where white dust pits the lungs, am
Those who take refuge in the darkened room And think with the false magic of a dream To change the season, hidding roses bloom, Or servile brain release the ice-bound stream, Or serve as an emblem of the Moon-ripeness where a thousand suns are sown Or taste the strange white fruit December yields To us who hold our harvest here alone They sail their northern seas in tropic ships And find scant cargo for the sun's delight. While we drink summer from each other's lips At winter's end we paint a white shirt And frozen rift of winter split apart As striking deep, love's roots feed at the heart.
Claude H. Burns, e39, has bee elected president of Alpha chapter of Tau Beta Pi, national honorary engineering fraternity'. Other officer who will serve next year are:
~
The year completes its cycle; sudden spring piled leaf and bloom in high position; now Drowsy with harvest, summer robins sing. And still the full, red fruit obscures the bours. Let us light tapers to the orchard god, let us plant trees for the season, Entreat the spirit in the fecund clod, and Question sun and rain if any reason Yet block the consumption we have vowed. Come, let us seal our love, before the nights Lengthen to frost, or autumn fields be plowed, or harren seasons steel our brief lights, or bring wild birds to feast, Love of life, may some bright reef reap.
Watching them bloom and seed like desert flowers Deep in the heart's axis, will the throat find some soil to grow. Again find solace in a rocky foot creeper once more to roam The friendly hills, the cool green fields of home.

I'd much rather die
Than be a Gi莎 Mai
I'd rather flunk my Wass-
ermann
Than pledge Alpha Sigma
Epsilon
I don't have the flu
Than be a Sigma Nu.
And I wouldn't give a damn
To hear some one saying,
"There goes a Pi Giam!"
Now boys don't judge me
harshly,
Or believe my thoughts are
narrow.
For what I want upon my
chest.
Is a beautiful Pi Phi arrow?

We were glad to see the Jay-
hawkers come back and snuck the Tigers in the baseball game yester-
days. We don't mind with too many "coaches," if we may
say so. Yesterday Mr. Conger started laying down the law with very satisfactory results. Baseball players don't ride like football and aren't able to make much use a fielder or pitcher as worthless as a fence post.
Yesterday was Freshman Farce day at the Pi Phi mansion. The activities became freshmen and vice versa. The Freshmen had a meeting and thought up things for the activities to do. These tasks ranged from peeling potatoes, making baking bags and washing clothes, to bathing all the cars in front of the house. Elizabeth Short, Helen Vickers, Jane Coats, and Mary Lou Borders drew the latter task. The girls got quite a ragging from the boys. The auto washing places downtown also report an increase in business. Daisy Hoffman and Demi Moore went to school with tooth brushes, while Betty Leu McFarland was sweeping the acre of cement in front of the house.
Mr. and Mrs, Al Lee of New Haven, Conn., have announced the birth of a baby boy, Briant H. Lee, on May 6. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces. Professor Lee taught here in the Journalism department until this year for her work or something, he now has two children with birthdays on May 6. One cake for two is not bad, however.
Madonna Jones, 1244 Ohio (Adv.), was about the sleepiest young lady
on the Hill the other morning. She decided to study rather late so she turned on the radio to hear the time signals every so often. Things were going along hunky dory but she began to feel rather sleepy. Finally the radio announced the time as a quarter to two. Much to her amazement, however, she found herself listening to a western station with a two-hour time difference.
Warden Report For Potter Lake
A bullfrog in the south end has been trying to swing "Twenty Froglies Went to School." A six-inch bass was caught. It had a DU pin on its chest. The lake rose three inches over the weekend. The rise resulted from dubbed golf balls. The lakes are 22.5 feet apart between the hours, 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. The amoeba are spawning. Warden Shore reports extra long fish worms for sale, 25 cents a dozen.
Billy Gordinier gets the ticket to the Dickinson theater. Gary Cooper is starred in "The Adventures of Marco Polo." Easil Rithoneh and Sigrid Gutie are in the supporting cast.
Mathematics Picnic Tomorrow
The Mathematies Club's annual picnic for members and the mathematies faculty will be tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 at Brown's grove.
