Remember miles from London s symmetrical thorned tower | N |
network of TV pictures flashing bearded your Self | O |
the lambs on the tree nooked hillside this day bleating | F |
heard in Blake s old ear the silent thought of Wordsworth in eld Stillness | P |

All the Valley quivered one extended motion wind | B |
undulating on mossy hills | Q |
a giant wash that sank white fog delicately down red runnels | R |
on the mountainside | S |
whose leaf branch tendrils moved asway | T |
in granitic undertow down | U |

and lifted the grasses an instant in balance | W |
and lifted the lambs to hold still | X |
and lifted the green of the hill in one solemn wave | Y |

A solid mass of Heaven mist infused ebbs thru the vale | Z |
a wavelet of Immensity lapping gigantic through Llanthony Valley | J |
the length of all England valley upon valley under Heaven s ocean | I |
tonned with cloud hang | F |
Heaven balanced on a grassblade | S |
Roar of the mountain wind slow sigh of the body | S |
One Being on the mountainside stirring gently | S |
Exquisite scales trembling everywhere in balance | W |
one motion thru the cloudy sky floor shifting on the million feet of daisies | V |
one Majesty the motion that stirred wet grass quivering | F |
to the farthest tendril of white fog poured down | U |
through shivering flowers on the mountain s head | S |

blueberries fringe stone walls on hawthorn d hills | Q |
pheasants croak on meadows haired with fern | B2 |

Out out on the hillside into the ocean sound into delicate gusts of wet air | C2 |
Fall on the ground O great Wetness O Mother No harm on your body | S |
Stare close no imperfection in the grass | D2 |
each flower Buddha eye repeating the story | S |
myriad formed | S |
Kneel before the foxglove raising green buds mauve bells dropped | S |
doubled down the stem trembling antennae | S |
look in the eyes of the branded lambs that stare | C2 |
breathing stockstill under dripping hawthorn | E2 |
I lay down mixing my beard with the wet hair of the mountainside | S |
smelling the brown vagina moist ground harmless | P |
tasting the violet thistle hair sweetness | P |
One being so balanced so vast that its softest breath | F2 |
moves every floweret in the stillness on the valley floor | G2 |
trembles lamb hair hung gossamer rain beaded in the grass | D2 |
lifts trees on their roots birds in the great draught | S |
hiding their strength in the rain bearing same weight | S |

gray atoms wet the wind s kabbala | Z |
Crosslegged on a rock in dusk rain | G |
rubber booted in soft grass mind moveless | H2 |
breath trembles in white daisies by the roadside | S |
Heaven breath and my own symmetric | F |
Airs wavering thru antlered green fern | B2 |
drawn in my navel same breath as breathes thru Capel Y Ffn | B2 |
Sounds of Aleph and Aum | I2 |
through forests of gristle | Z |
my skull and Lord Hereford s Knob equal | Z |
All Albion one | B2 |

What did I notice Particulars The | J2 |
vision of the great One is myriad | S |
smoke curls upward from ashtray | K2 |
house fire burned low | Z |
The night still wet moody black heaven | B2 |
starless | H2 |
upward in motion with wet wind | S |
