WE CHANGED OUR MINDS ABOUT BEING WILLING TO SAIL PAST |
TO ME IT WAS ALL TRUE, ALL ROMANCE—ALL POETRY |
SOMEBODY SENT ME A BASKET OF FRUIT |
THEY ARE AN ATTRACTIVE LOT—THE REPROBATES |
GAVE HIM THE "ICY MITT" |
THEY COULD DIVE LIKE SEALS |
TWO MEN TAKE YOU IN HAND, AND AWAY YOU GO |
DID A SORT OF FANDAROLE |
THEN IT DAWNED UPON THE DIPLOMAT |
BUT NOW GIBRALTAR, THE CROUCHING LION OF TRAFALGAR, HAD RISEN FROM THE SEA |
WE COULD HAVE LISTENED ALL NIGHT TO BEÑUNES |
"THAT IS THE KASBA" |
ONE DOES NOT HURRY THE ORIENT—ONE WAITS ON IT |
MARVELLOUS BASKETS AND QUEER THINGS |
WE DID NOT CARE MUCH FOR PARKS |
ETERNALLY EAST WITH NO HINT OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD |
TWO BENT, WRINKLED WOMEN WEAVING LACE OUTSIDE THE DOOR |
WE LOOKED ACROSS THE ENTRANCE AND THERE ROSE THE ACROPOLIS, HIGH AGAINST THE BLUE |
HE WOULD SWING HIS ARMS AND BEGIN, "YOU SEE—!" THE REST REQUIRED A MIND-READER |
I WOULD HAVE APPLIED FOR THE POSITION IN THE CHORUS MYSELF |
TOOK TURNS ADDRESSING THE MULTITUDE |
ONE'S AGE, STATED ON OATH, GOES WITH A PASSPORT |
KEYEFF |
I WANTED TO CARRY AWAY ONE OF THOSE TOMBSTONES |
ALL THE PLAINS AND SLOPES OF THE OLD CITY, WITH ITS WHITE FRAGMENTS AND POOR RUINED HARBOR, LAY AT OUR FEET |
FROM THE TIME OF ADAM, BAALBEC BECAME A PLACE OF ALTARS |
SO THE PATRIARCHS JOURNEYED; SO, TWO THOUSAND YEARS LATER, JOSEPH AND MARY TRAVELLED INTO EGYPT |
URGING US TO PARTAKE OF THE PRECIOUS STUFF, WITHOUT STINT |
ASKED HIM IF HE WOULDN'T EXECUTE A LITTLE COMMISSION FOR ME IN THE BAZAARS |
THE PATRIARCH KNEW ALL ABOUT JAFFA |
JERUSALEM—ITS BUBBLE-ROOFED HOUSES AND DOMES, ITS CYPRESS AND OLIVE TREES |
A CAMEL TRAIN LED THE WAY THROUGH THE GATES |
THE DEPTH OF THEIR FALL |
THE WAY OF THE CROSS |
THE TRUE GOLGOTHA—THE PLACE OF THE SKULL |
A VAST INDIFFERENCE TO ALL PUNY THINGS |
SANCTUARY IN KARNAK |
GADDIS |
I MADE A PICTURE OF THE FLY-BRUSH BRIGADE |
ITS MAGNIFICENT PYLONS OR ENTRANCE WALLS … AND THEN ONCE MORE WE WERE ON THE DONKEYS |
THE TEMPLE OF LUXOR … ONCE MORE REFLECTING ITS COLUMNS IN THE NILE |
THINK OF WATERING A WHOLE WHEAT-FIELD WITH A WELL-SWEEP AND A PAIL |
GOT IT MADE CHEAP SOMEWHERE, WITH HER PICTURE CARVED ON THE FRONT OF IT |
SET OUT ON THE LONG, STEADY, ATLANTIC SWING |
