The Spike [: or, Victoria University College Review 1957]
Fragment 18
Fragment 18
The facts which I would communicate
In writing you these halting words
Fade speechless on my lips;
But the letters will be incandescent with meaning
In spite of the indirectness of the words:
Which may perhaps typify the obliquity of existence,
Whose intention is imperfectly shown
Although the fragments glow exquisitely bright.
