Poets ’ Corner
ENCOUNTER To Miss Elsie Davis. tWritten for The San.l Suppose it were chance that my light laughter caught The beautiful resentment of your gaze — Then, at the crossing of our sunny ways, Where I was by a million trifles brought Towards your orient, I bend my knees in praise of Accident. But if, as rather whispers my true faith, Fate ranged these accidents from near and far Under the sweet command of some dear star, My genuflexion and adoring breath 1 offer up, more wise, To Fate, for those cold blossoms of your eyes. GEOFFREY DE MONTALK. Chelsea (Ist. Alexius, 17th July, 1928 J.
