Verse For Today
Tall where trains draw up to rest, the gum-trees Sift an off-sea wind, arching Rippled cornland and the startling far blue waves. Westward the shapeless low hills are forced Here by a twisting amber stream, Still in one pool under the corner willows * And crossed by the stone bridge beside the mill. Knowledge ends thus with the .. traveller’s glimpse; But there imagination wakes Vivid with an alternative creation But near-related, complementary, Later attainable; and flashing Unknown visions of the known, Rivals that time’s tenderness shall reconcile. From “ Waianakarua,” by,Charles Brasch. [Caxton Press.]
