Excerpt from The Two Blind Countries
Mazily wandering through a blind land, As a sailor gropes a strange shore, Continually would he stop and stand, His ear to a door.
Shadows and droll shapes thronged him about, But he cared no whit for them all; He, all alone in that crazy rout, Heard through the wall.
As the sea beats on a fog-bound beach A clamorous whispering broke, And against the shaken door surged the muffled speech Of a world of folk.
But and if they called him they were not heard, And he might cry to them in vain; Between them and him not the least small word Could pass again.
Only through a crack in the door's blind face He would reach a thieving hand, To draw some clue to his own strange place From the other land.
