Strong extreme speed that the brain hurries withA
Further than trees and hedges and green grassB
Whitened by distance further than small poolsC
Held among fields and gardens further thanD
Haystacks and windmill sails and roofs and herdsE
The sea's last margin ceases at the sunF
The sea has left us but the sun remainsG
Sometimes the country spreads aloof in tractsH
Smooth from the harvest sometimes sky and landI
Are shut from the square space the window leavesJ
By a dense crowd of trees stem behind stemK
Passing across each other as we passB
Sometimes tall poplar wands stand white their headsL
Outmeasuring the distant hills SometimesM
The ground has a deep greenness sometimes brownN
In stubble and sometimes no ground at allO
For the close strength of crops that stand unreapedI
The water plots are sometimes all the sun'sP
Sometimes quite green through shadows filling themK
Or islanded with growths of reeds or elseQ
Masked in grey dust like the wide face o' the fieldsR
And still the swiftness lasts that to our speedI
The trees seem shaken like a press of spearsS
There is some count of us folks travelling cappedI
Priesthood and lank hard featured soldieryT
Females no women blouses Hunt and IU
We are relayed at Amiens The steamV
Snorts chafes and bridles like three hundred horseW
And flings its dusky mane upon the airT
Our company is thinned and lamps alightI
But still there are the folks in travelling capsX
No priesthood now but always soldieryT
And babies to make up for show in noiseY
Females no women blouses Hunt and IU
Our windows at one side are shut for warmthZ
Upon the other side a leaden skyU
Hung in blank glare makes all the country dimA2
Which too seems bald and meagre be it truthB2
Or of the waxing darkness Here and thereT
The shade takes light where in thin patches standI
The unstirred dregs of waterT
Hunt can seeC2
A moon he says but I am too far backD2
Still the same speed and thunder We are stoppedI
Again and speech tells clearer than in dayI
Hunt has just stretched to tell me that he fearsS
I and my note book may be taken forT
The stuff that goes to make an missaireT
De la perfide Let me abate my zealE2
There is a stout gendarme within the coachF2
This cursed pitching is too bad My teethG2
Jingle together in it and my legsH2
Which I got wet at Boulogne this good dayI
Wading for star fish are so chilled that IU
Would don my coat were not these seats too hardI
To spare it from beneath me and were notI
The love of ease less than the love of slothI2
Hunt has just told me it is nearly eightI
We do not reach till half past ten Drat verseJ2
And steam and Paris and the fins of TimeK2
Marry for me look you I will go sleepL2
Most of them slept I could not held awakeM2
By jolting clamour with shut eyes my headI
Willing to nod and fancy itself vagueN2
Only at Stations I looked round me whenO2
Short silence paused among us and I feltI
A creeping in my feet from abrupt calmP2
At such times Hunt would jerk himself and thenO2
Tumble uncouthly forward in his sleepL2
This lasted near three hours The darkness nowQ2
Stayeth behind us on the sullen roadI
And all this light is Paris Dieu merciJ2
-
PARIS Saturday NightI
Send me dear William by return of postI
As much as you can manage of that rhymeK2
Incurred at Ventnor Bothers and delaysJ2
Have still prevented me from copying thisJ2
Till now now that I do so let it beC2
Anticipative compensationF
Num ro Rue Geoffroy MarieC2
Faubourg Montmartre pr s des BoulevardsJ2
Dear William labelled thus the thing will reachR2
