Code of Noir

And the Memory .......

         The room was empty. It was full of silence and the memory of a nice perfume. One of those perfumes you don't notice until they are almost gone, like the last leaf on a tree.

Go to Hell

Now Satan was an angel in heaven

But he stirred up trouble and woe

So the lord commanded that the devil be branded

So you know darn well 

He went to hell

Go to Hell

Be Angry at the Sun

Let boys want pleasure, and men

Struggle for power and women perhaps for fame

And the servile to serve a leader and the dupes to be duped

Yours is not theirs

Be Angry at the Sun
Robinson Jeffers
1941
