(for Aidan Higgins)
'The world is everything that is the case'
From the fly giving up in the coal-shed
To the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
Give blame, praise to the fumbling God
Who hides, shame-facédly, His agéd face;
Whose light retire behind its veil of cloud.
The world, though, is also so much more-
Everything that is the case imaginatively.
Tacitus believed mariners could hear
The sun sinking into the western sea;
And who would question that titanic roar,
The steam rising wherever the edge may be?
