(inherited from collection) - Description:
- Full Fathom Five The day the poem rose up He was out fishing, Fathoms above the reef; The fish curvetted And the words diverged. Once when love caromed in his brain, The squid below spit ciphers at the sun; His balloon heart swelled, but not one Line could he get from it. Out of the grab bag of the mind One hour’s version of the poem is drawn Framed and fixed. Use it. Do not look where, Under the pale survivor, swing Shades of fairer forms, Or you will never forget Their mocking. Barbara Howes, Collected Poems, 1945-1990. Fayetteville, University of Arkansas Press, 1995. page 8.
