Richard Aldington,
War and Love — The Faun Complains
(1919)
“ And for my day-long, night-long sacred hush, (Flutter of leaves, bee-murmurs in the flowers, Ripe seeded grass just stirring into music) A hush wherein one seemed to hear The invisible wheels of burning stars Echoing upon the tiled paths of heaven— For this they give me noise, Harsh clangours of breaking metal, Abrupt huge bursts of flame. ”
