The Mind
I think that the root of the Wind is Water
From The Single Hound (1914)
The Mind
I think that the root of the Wind is Water,
It would not sound so deep
Were it a firmamental product,
Airs no Oceans keep—
Mediterranean intonations,
To a Current's ear
There is a maritime conviction
In the atmosphere.
