A mind\u2019s-length plot with thought was sown

Exotic spices, with strange faces
\nFrom having looked on distant places.
\nGum Arabic, from the veins
\nOf noonday genii in heat-drunk lands
\nOr the hard-to-come-by foot
\nOf white centred anise-root.
\nBaskets crammed with saffron wands\u2013
\nNutmegs jostle, hearty oaves,
\nEmbarrassing the comely cloves\u2013
\nFrom far lands they bear away
\nCoriander, caraway.<\/p>\n
Names whose iteration bear
\nParceled gusts of foreign air
\nSubtleties but half revealed
\nTo the importuning field\u2013
\nAs within a woman\u2019s mind
\nBroods one half humankind.<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
