We might believe they made a noise. . . . What are you-driving at!”

To talk of 'Lunun' as a foreign land.

When I passed the window a month ago, there rested in proud isolation:
A family bible with hasps of brass twisted off, a wooden clock with pendulum gone,
And a porcelain crucifix with the glaze nicked where the left elbow of Jesus is represented.
