other business if we ignore the best in
the open country, such as health. fresh
or, time for pleasant recreation,
green fields, gardens, orchards, live
stock and dozens of other things that

still compare with many other occupa-
tions and may be not found wanting.

Perhaps the change in his literary work

My house is small. and what once has

But infinite Is thy mansion, my lord

from which nothing can vanish-no hope,
no happiness, no vision Of face seen
through tears.
On, dip my emptied life into that ocean:

the allness OF the universe.
Here Is another example from the sans
book Of poetry:
was not aware Of the moment when
/ first crossed the threshold Of this life.
What was the power that made me open
out into this vast mystery like bud in
the forest at midnight?
When in the morning / looked upon the
light ! felt i'm moment that / was no
stranger to this world, that the inscrut-
able, without name and form, had taken
me i'm its arms in the form Of my own
mother.
Even so. I'm death the same unknown
will appear as ever known 10 me. And
because / love this life know shall love
death as we'll
The child cries out when from the right
breast the mother takes IL away, In the
very next moment to find in the left one
its consolation.
And here is delightful little poem
taken from his new volume Of child
verses, THE Crescent Moon:
