Lines for translation into any language --
Beauty, danger and dismay --
The milkfish gatherers --
The ballad of the Imam and the Shah --
The ballad of the shrieking man --
The ballad of the birds --
I know what I'm missing --
Here come the drum majorettes! --
The orange dove of Fiji --
An indistinct inscription near Kom Ombo --
Everything in your window is a sign --
Was that your idea of love? --
Down to the twigs and seeds --
Never let me see you suffer.
