Poem of the Day
For Edward Thomas
Not a cloud in the sky and the pier hangs in mist
Taken from 'Joy'...No swiftness and not a cloud to mark this soul But brightness all around so fiercely torpid Nothing can be seen at all. The front is so wide I walk with my eyes closed And the sea breathes shallow as a roosting dove My unblemished soul goes shapeless through the light: Pale calf-hide, it has need of the cloud’s love. There you stand, like the fish upon its tail, Who tasted all the various hells upon the earth And was marked for ever by the passage of a cloud And the rain, and the birds, and all such things of worth. |
