The following delightful bit by John
Galesworthy is from the Atlantic
Monthly: A quiet owl stole by in the
field below, and vanished into the
heart of a tree. And, suddenly, above
the moor-line, saw the large moon
rising Cinnamon-colOred, it made all
things swim, made me uncertain OF
my thoughts, vague with a may feel
ing. Shapes seemed but drifts Of
moon-dust, and true reality nothing
save sort of still listening to the
wind And for long I sat, just watch
ing the moon creep up, and hearing
the thin, dry rustic OF the leaves
along the holly hedge. And there
came to me this thought: What is
this universe-that never had begin
ming and will never have an end-but
myriad striving to perfect pictures
never the same, so blending and fad
ing one into another that all form
one great perfected picture? And
what are we-ripples on the tides OF
a birthless, deathless, equipoised Gre
