Poem
Wakening with the window over fields
To the coin-clear harness-jingle as a float
Clips by, and each succeeding hoof fall, now remote,
Breaks clean and frost-sharp on the unstopped ear.
The hooves describe an arabesque on space,
A dotted line in sound that falls and rises
As the cart goes by, recedes, turns to retrace
Its way back through the unawakened village.
As the cart goes by, recedes, turns to retrace
Its way back through the unawakened village.
And space vibrates, enlarges with the sound;
Though space is soundless, yet creates
From very soundlessness a ground
From very soundlessness a ground
To counterstress the lilting hoof fall as it breaks.
– Charles Tomlinson (1951)
