Postscript
;Men who march away;
IN FRONT OF THE LANDSCAPE
Plunging and labouring on in a tide of visions��
Dolorous and dear��
Forward I pushed my way as amid waste waters
Stretching around��
Through whose eddies there glimmered the customed landscape
Yonder and near��
Blotted to feeble mist。 And the coomb and the upland
Foliage´crowned��
Ancient chalk´pit�察�milestone�察�rills in the grass´flat
Stroked by the light��
Seemed but a ghost´like gauze�察�and no substantial
Meadow or mound。
What were the infinite spectacles bulking foremost
Under my sight��
Hindering me to discern my paced advancement
Lengthening to miles��
What were the re´creations killing the daytime
As by the night��
O they were speechful faces�察�gazing insistent��
Some as with smiles��
Some as with slow´born tears that brinily trundled
Over the wrecked
Cheeks that were fair in their flush´time�察�ash now with anguish��
Harrowed by wiles。
Yes�察�I could see them�察�feel them�察�hear them�察�address them ´
Halo´bedecked ´
And�察�alas�察�onwards�察�shaken by fierce unreason��
Rigid in hate��
Smitten by years´long wryness born of misprision��
Dreaded�察�suspect。
Then there would breast me shining sights�察�sweet seasons
Further in date��
Instruments of strings with the tenderest passion
Vibrant�察�beside
Lamps long extinguished�察�robes�察�cheeks�察�eyes with the earth's crust
Now corporate。
Also there rose a headland of hoary aspect
Gnawed by the tide��
Frilled by the nimb of the morning as two friends stood there
Guilelessly glad ´
Wherefore they knew nottouched by the fringe of an ecstasy
Scantly descried。
Later images too did the day unfurl me��
Shadowed and sad��
Clay cadavers of those who had shared in the dramas��
Laid now at ease��
Passions all spent�察�chiefest the one of the broad brow
Sepulture´clad。
So did beset me scenes miscalled of the bygone��
Over the leaze��
Past the clump�察�and down to where lay the beheld ones��
Yea�察�as the rhyme
Sung by the sea´swell�察�so in their pleading dumbness
Captured me these。
For�察�their lost revisiting manifestations
In their own time
Much had I slighted�察�caring not for their purport��
Seeing behind
Things more coveted�察�reckoned the better worth calling
Sweet�察�sad�察�sublime。
Thus do they now show hourly before the intenser
Stare of the mind
As they were ghosts avenging their slights by my bypast
Body´borne eyes��
Show�察�too�察�with fuller translation than rested upon them
As living kind。
Hence wag the tongues of the passing people�察�saying
In their surmise��
;Ahwhose is this dull form that perambulates�察�seeing nought
Round him that looms
Whithersoever his footsteps turn in his farings��
Save a few tombs�拭�
CHANNEL FIRING
That night your great guns�察�unawares��
Shook all our coffins as we lay��
And broke the chancel window´squares��
We thought it was the Judgment´day
And sat upright。 While drearisome
Arose the howl of wakened hounds��
The mouse let fall the altar´crumb��
The worms drew back into the mounds��
The glebe cow drooled。 Till God called�察 �No��
It's gunnery practice out at sea
Just as before you went below��
The world is as it used to be��
;All nations striving strong to make
Red war yet redder。 Mad as hatters
They do no more for Christes sake
Than you who are helpless in such matters。
;That this is not the judgment´hour
For some of them's a blessed thing��
For if it were they'd have to scour
Hell's floor for so much threatening 。 。 。
;Ha�察�ha。 It will be warmer when
I blow the trumpet ��if indeed
I ever do�察�for you are men��
And rest eternal sorely need��。;
So down we lay again。 ;I wonder��
Will the world ever saner be�察�
Said one�察 �than when He sent us under
In our indifferent century� �
And many a skeleton shook his head。
;Instead of preaching forty year�察�
My neighbour Parson Thirdly said��
;I wish I had stuck to pipes and beer。;
Again the guns disturbed the hour��
Roaring their readiness to avenge��
As far inland as Stourton Tower��
And Camelot�察�and starlit Stonehenge。
April 1914。
THE CONVERGENCE OF THE TWAIN
��Lines on the loss of the ;Titanic;��
I
In a solitude of the sea
Deep from human vanity��
And the Pride of Life that planned her�察�stilly couches she。
II
Steel chambers�察�late the pyres
Of her salamandrine fires��
Cold currents thrid�察�and turn to rhythmic tidal lyres。
III
Over the mirrors meant
To glass the opulent
The sea´worm crawlsgrotesque�察�slimed�察�dumb�察�indifferent。
IV
Jewels in joy designed
To ravish the sensuous mind
Lie lightless�察�all their sparkles bleared and black and blind。
V
Dim moon´eyed fishes near
Gaze at the gilded gear
And query�此 �What does this vaingloriousness down here�拭─ � 。 。
VI
Well�此 �while was fashioning
This creature of cleaving wing��
The Immanent Will that stirs and urges everything
VII
Prepared a sinister mate
For herso gaily great ´
A Shape of Ice�察�for the time far and dissociate。
VIII
And as the smart ship grew
In stature�察�grace�察�and hue��
In shadowy silent distance grew the Iceberg too。
IX
Alien they seemed to be��
No mortal eye could see
The intimate welding of their later history��
X
Or sign that they were bent
By paths coincident
On being anon twin halves of one august event��
XI
Till the Spinner of the Years
Said ;Now� ─ �And each one hears��
And consummation comes�察�and jars two hemispheres。
THE GHOST OF THE PAST
We two kept house�察�the Past and I��
The Past and I��
I tended while it hovered nigh��
Leaving me never alone。
It was a spectral housekeeping
Where fell no jarring tone��
As strange�察�as still a housekeeping
As ever has been known。
As daily I went up the stair
And down the stair��
I did not mind the Bygone there ´
The Present once to me��
Its moving meek companionship
I wished might ever be��
There was in that companionship
Something of ecstasy。
It dwelt with me just as it was��
Just as it was
When first its prospects gave me pause
In wayward wanderings��
Before the years had torn old troths
As they tear all sweet things��
Before gaunt griefs had torn old troths
And dulled old rapturings。
And then its form began to fade��
Began to fade��
Its gentle echoes faintlier played
At eves upon my ear
Than when the autumn's look embrowned
The lonely chambers here��
The autumn's settling shades embrowned
Nooks that it haunted near。
And so with time my vision less��
Yea�察�less and less
Makes of that Past my housemistress��
It dwindles in my eye��
It looms a far´off skeleton
And not a comrade nigh��
A fitful far´off skeleton
Dimming as days draw by。
AFTER THE VISIT
��To F。 E。 D。��
Come again to the place
Where your presence was as a leaf that skims
Down a drouthy way whose ascent bedims
The bloom on the farer's face。
Come again�察�with the feet
That were light on the green as a thistledown ball��
And those mute ministrations to one and to all
Beyond a man's saying sweet。
Until then the faint scent
Of the bordering flowers swam unheeded away��
And I marked not the charm in the changes of day
As the cloud´colours came and went。
Through the dark corridors
Your walk was so soundless I did not know
Your form from a phantom's of long ago
Said to pass on the ancient floors��
Till you drew from the shade��
And I saw the large luminous living eyes
Regard me in fixed inquiring´wise
As those of a soul that weighed��
Scarce consciously��
The eternal question of what Life was��
And why w
