In Uncertainty to a Lady by Aldous Huxley
In Uncertainty to a Lady was published in The Defeat of Youth and Other Poems in 1918.
In Uncertainty to a Lady, i am not one of those who sip,
Like a quotidian bock,
Cheap idylls from a languid lip
Prepared to yawn or mock.
I wait the indubitable word,
The great Unconscious Cue.
Has it been spoken and unheard?
Spoken, perhaps, by you …?
