Poets' Corner

NOCTURNE (Written for THE SUN) The moon is a white flame in a glacier-cave of steel, immeasurably far , like the stars. The pines are pulsing, jagged presences on a grey screen, and the earth is mouth-agape, intent. I am a savage Whose old wound throbs with the chill mysteries : my mind is a theme, a numb, reiterant minor, played on an insistent Japanese musical instrument. C. R. STEAUBEL. Auckland.
