Rupert Brooke in FIJI.

FIJI in moonlight is like nothing else in this world. It's all dim colors and all scents. And here, where it's high up. the most fantastically shaped mountains in the world tower up all round, and little silver clouds and wisps of mist run bleating up and down the valleys and hillsides like lambs looking for their mother. There's only one thing on earth as beautiful; and that's Samoa by moon light. That's utterly different merely heaven, sheer loveliness. You lie on . mat in a cool Samoan hut, and look out on the white sand under the high palms, and gentle sea. and the black line of the reef mile out, and moOn- light over everything, floods and floods of 1t, not sticky, like Honolulu moon light, not to be eaten with @ spoon, but lat and abundant, such that you could slice thin golden-white shavings of Dt, as of cheese. From Collected Poems of Rupert Brooke! With . Memoir"
