Poliphilo is in love with Polia. They have been playing hide and seek for a long time now.

WELL, MY ANCESTORS WERE QUAKERS
There is a kind of poetic writing The young do best. It’s to do with colours, Textures and scent, and our English masters Are Hopkins and Keats- but neither man Would have written that way had they lived to be forty. The older I get the more I find I admire a Protestant aesthetic Of plain white walls with nothing but hatchments To break the drift. Plain thoughts, plain words And none of your artful fol-de-rols To please the girls. Lets keep it as clean As a sword blade crossing an open Bible.
