“ONCE . . . ONCE UPON A TIME" “Once . . . once upon a time . . Over and over again, Martha would tell us Hr stories, •n the hazel glen. Hors were those clear "gray eyes You watch, and tiie story seems Told by their beautifulness Tranquil as dreams. She'd sit with her two slim hands Clasped round her bended knees; While we on our elbows lolled. And stared at ease. • Her voice and her narrow chin, Her grave, small, lovely head, Seemed half the meaning Of the words she said. “Once . . . once upon a time . . ■ —Walter de la Mara*
