Bernard Spencer Quotes
Aegean Islands 1940-41
Where White Stares, Smokes Or Breaks,
Thread White, White Of Plaster And Of Foam,
Where Sea Like A Wall Falls;
Ribbed, Lionish Coast,
The Stony Islands Which Blow Into My Mind
More Often Than I Imagine My Grassy Home;
To Sun One's Bones Beside The
Explosive, Crushed-blue, Nostril-opening Sea
(The Weaving Sea, Splintered With Sails And Foam,
Familiar Of Famous And Deserted Harbours,
Of Coins With Dolphins On And Fallen Pillars.)
To Know The Gear And Skill Of Sailing,
The Drenching Race For Home And The Sail-white Houses,
Stories Of Turks And Smoky Ikons,
Cry Of The Bagpipe, Treading
Of The Peasant Dancers;
The Dark Bread
The Island Wine And The Sweet Dishes;
All These Were Elements In A Happiness
More Distant Now Than Any Date Like '40,
A. D. Or B. C., Ever Can Express.
