rev. 7/64 Kauai from Monhegan Thinking of that other island Swollen in the sun and strung With lianas and honohono streams, That other island and that other sea, I give myself this long grey day To northern arcs and a fog-dimned sea And mark how without so und the coves drop off How without echo as spindrift. I let this grey unprismatic lie Shale upon shoal. The unromantic shells Passive and placeless turn and turn, And I am given to the frugal bay, Reserving that other pleasure-- Bright red, bright blue, bright yellow For that other island, where palms shout And sharp suns shatter the glass of the sea.
