walks; Contorted; horrible; Without curves。 A horse steps in a puddle; And 

white;   glaring   water   spurts   up   In   stiff;   outflaring   lines;   Like   the   rattling 

stems of reeds。 The city is heraldic with angles; A sombre escutcheon of 

argent   and   sable   And   countercoloured   bends   of   rain   Hung   over   a   four… 

square   civilization。 When   a   street   lamp   comes   out;   I   gaze   at   it   for   fully 

thirty seconds To rest my brain with the suffusing; round brilliance of its 

globe。 



                                                   V 

                                         An Aquarium 

       Streaks    of   green   and    yellow    iridescence;     Silver   shiftings;   Rings 

veering out of rings; Silver  gold  Grey…green opaqueness sliding down; 

With sharp white bubbles Shooting and dancing; Flinging quickly outward。 

Nosing the bubbles; Swallowing them; Fish。 Blue shadows against silver… 

saffron     water;    The   light   rippling    over   them     In  steel…bright    tremors。 

Outspread   translucent   fins   Flute;   fold;   and   relapse;   The   threaded   light 

prints    through    them    on   the   pebbles    In  scarcely    tarnished     twinklings。 

Curving      of   spotted   spines;   Slow   up…shifts;    Lazy   convolutions:   Then       a 

sudden      swift   straightening     And    darting   below:    Oblique     grey   shadows

                                       Men; Women and Ghosts 



Athwart      a   pale   casement。      Roped     and    curled;    Green    man…eating       eels 

Slumber in undulate rhythms; With   crests laid horizontal on their  backs。 

Barred fish; Striped fish; Uneven disks of fish; Slip; slide; whirl; turn; And 

never   touch。  Metallic   blue   fish; With   fins   wide   and   yellow  and   swaying 

Like Oriental fans; Hold the sun in their bellies And glow with light: Blue 

brilliance cut by black bars。 An oblong pane of straw…coloured shimmer; 

Across   it;   in   a   tangent; A  smear   of   rose;   black;   silver。   Short   twists   and 

upstartings; Rose…black; in a setting of bubbles: Sunshine playing between 

red   and   black   flowers   On   a   blue   and   gold   lawn。   Shadows   and   polished 

surfaces;   Facets   of   mauve   and   purple; A  constant   modulation   of   values。 

Shaft…shaped;   With   green   bead   eyes;   Thick…nosed;   Heliotrope…coloured; 

Swift spots of chrysolite and coral; In the midst of green; pearl; amethyst 

irradiations。 

     Outside; A willow…tree flickers With little white jerks; And long blue 

waves Rise steadily beyond the outer islands。
