Th* Duplications.


alas
(via w*b dot tiscali dot it)


   "The Hurricane

Lo, Lord, thou ridest!
Lord, Lord, thy swifting heart

Nought stayeth, nought now bideth
But's smithereened apart!

Ay! Scripture flee'th stone!
Milk-bright, Thy chisel wind

Rescindeth flesh from bone
To quivering whittlings thinned--

Swept, whistling straw! Battered,
Lord, e'en boulders now outleap

Thy drum's gambade, its plunge abscond!
Lord God, while summits crashing

Whip sea-kelp screaming on blond
Sky-seethe, dense heaven dashing--

Thou ridest to the door, Lord!
Thou bideth wall nor floor, Lord!"

--Hart Cran*
