A search for the title phrase in this journal yields . . .

These locusts by day, these crickets by night 
Are the instruments on which to play 
Of an old and disused ambit of the soul 
Or of a new aspect, bright in discovery— 

A disused ambit of the spirit’s way,
The sort of thing that August crooners sing,
By a pure fountain, that was a ghost, and is, 
Under the sun-slides of a sloping mountain; 

Or else a new aspect, say the spirit's sex,
Its attitudes, its answers to attitudes 
And the sex of its voices, as the voice of one 
Meets nakedly another’s naked voice. 

From a 2003 "Plato's Caveman" post . . .

Fans of hallucinatory fiction might recall a saying of Philip Pullman:

"The meaning of a story emerges in the meeting
between the words on the page
and the thoughts in the reader's mind.
So when people ask me what I meant by this story,
or what was the message I was trying to convey in that one,
I have to explain that I'm not going to explain.

Anyway, I'm not in the message business;
I'm in the 'Once upon a time' business."

— "Who can turn the world on with her smile?"

— Good question.
