Excerpt from On the Overland and Other Poems
Of thunder storms that bring thin rains at night, speak, O thou mute and mighty earth-transfusing spirit, speak and break the spell of the phantasmal, hurtling, inert, smiling day. Voice of the dull-brown haycocks, listless windmills, the barren, squat, meek, lonely little houses, the glittering, restless, wind-streaked chrysoprase of corn, stark dearth of red earth miles on miles, gigantic palisaded rock-ruins crumbling by dry rivers, thistles, daisies, lank fences stalking out against the sky threading the waste, voice of the soul of this treeless land where never the feet of men were set till yesterday, speak while the train rolls making rhythms, rattling roaring, clicking crashing, caught out of the emptiness, rhythms of space, sledge-riveted fast and faster into my spirit, till my spirit makes its wings of them, nay more, bid thou God's self speak, as from west to eastern sea wheels whirl me hurl me, hissing, jarring, being bound beyond the sea Let Him look out with me, with me remember what else were but a hopeless cirque of changes, the blank stupendous ages of the making, Winter, spring.
