A Major Minor.......2001-06-22
I'd watched the hills drink the last colour of light,
All shapes grow bright and wane on the pale air,
Till down the traitorous east there came the night
And swept the circle of my seeing bare;
Its intimate beauty like a wanton's veil
Tore from the void as from an empty face.
I felt at being's rim all being fail,
And my one body pitted against space.
O heart more frightened than a wild bird's wings
Beating at green, now is no fiery mark
Left on the quiet nothingness of things.
Be self no more against the flooding dark;
There thousandwise, sown in that cloudy blot,
Stars that are worlds look out and see you not.
Consider the careful development of perception. The choice of words ("the quiet nothingness of things", "thousandwise") couldn't be bettered. Note too the masterly management of metre. It is not hard to see why Allen Tate, and Theodore Roethke, agreed with my assesment.
