VAGRANT VERSE
THE ORETI ANTHOLOGY.
533.—Oreti.
(Written for the Southland Times.) Here the beaches dreaming lie White beneath a tropic sky, And the ocean indigo Like a picture at a show, Where colours seem too bright to bft A part of nature’s symphony.
Mount Anglem in the distance loomi With changing colours like the gloorru Of strange exotic plants and trees, Art-captured by the Japanese. And every islet in the Strait Is neatly outlined and sedate.
Here’s modernistic line and tint, The acme of the colour-print, Where every viewpoint of the scene Lacks the colourless and mean. So why should one to Europe go To see a Monet picture show? —Southerner. Invercargill, January 8, 1934.
