the fluctuations of the low, formless

well worthy Of the efforts of great
artist.
Il am not quite so sure, however,
about the dreary day in which nothing
Is seen, in which the landscape does
not change, in which there is steady
but not violent downpour of rain.
do not say that that ought not to be
treated as a subject Of literature, but
it is not what I ask of literature.
