from Part Three of The Age of Anxiety
Obedient to their own mysterious laws of direction, their twisting paths converge, approach their several voices, and collect the four for a startled reunion at the forest's edge. They stare at what they see.
Quant says:
The climate of enclosure, the cool forest
Break off abruptly:
Giddy with the glare and ungoverned heat,
We stop astonished,
Interdicted by desert, its dryness edged
By a scanty scrub
Of Joshua trees and giant cacti;
The climate of enclosure, the cool forest
Break off abruptly:
Giddy with the glare and ungoverned heat,
We stop astonished,
Interdicted by desert, its dryness edged
By a scanty scrub
Of Joshua trees and giant cacti;
Then, vacant of value,
Incoherent and infamous sands,
Rainless regions
Swarming with serpents, ancestral wastes,
Lands beyond love.
Incoherent and infamous sands,
Rainless regions
Swarming with serpents, ancestral wastes,
Lands beyond love.
Now, with only the last half of the seventh stage to go to finish their journey, for the first time fear and doubt dismay them. Is triumph possible? If so, are they chosen?
– W.H. Auden (1944-46)
