ILLUMINATION
SPHERED immensity of red
That holds emblazoned in its heart of peace
The black upjutting line of western hill.
Hills of tranquillity steeped in the setting sun ;
Ground transmuted in that drench of gold :
A hallowed air whose substance is of light
And calm and wideness and release of soul.
For now the blossom opens from the bud :
Surely the seed of the sun has sprouted from the tomb,
That all traditionary clods are lit with knowing ?
April 14, 1938.

A WATER-LILY
THIS
water-lily, like a moon,
Slowly came
to full
A focussed light, a colour swoon.
Remote,
inerrable.
Leaving water, wed with air,
Becrowned
with pearls of dew-
Nothing misshapen wanders there,
No evil
pierces through.
Ere din of sacrilege pluck sway,
Or empery
of Night,
The dreamlike petals every way
Muster their quiet
light.
October 5, 1936.
