Put a gold star on that one, Lawrence. I wonder though about the word
"compartments" -- it distracts me from what I was thought was going on.
Are you sold on that word?

If man is irredeemably destined
To sin the same sins age after age,
And if there is no progress, that
Concept being abandoned after
The Great War, is there at least
A happy isle, some place in
Which one drinks and drowses
And dreams some glorious dream?
Or if not, then some duty that brings
A comforting satisfaction? And if
That satisfaction lasts at least
A day, may we wake the next
Having dreamed of someone
Who entered into our seeking,
Our walking on hills with
Her into compartments
As short as the dream, and
Then if I look next and she
Begins to fade, no longer
Able to walk or sing, she’ll
Still believe everything she
Learned as a child ages ago.
