DARK HOLLOWS Silently the water now descends The darkening purple stairs into herself; Goes from the sun into the cavern light. Through shadow, to the bed of sand, and ends. All being water, the surface understands What the deep shadows say. No mystery Is in the depth or in the communication Unquestioned as the touching of two hands. Descending into myself, taking away The thought as my thought, word as my word, I am the link between two generations; Yesterday and tomorrow hlend in one today. Descending not by stair, hut pointed 6tone — The ancient way, still new, the only way, Uneased by moss. The passing feet wrap stone With barrenness, desiring feel of bone, Shaper of flesh. What shapes the skeleton And its dark hollows where a music is. Shy as the first grass, solemn as a bell At evening tolling that a life is done, Or made invisible — the same? The sound 1 hear is holder than the grass, hut lost Beside the grave attainment ol the bell. The peace come with a thing long sought and found. The sea, from sun to shadow, is the same. In me the shadow, brighter than the sun. Is of another cast. Humble I stand Before its deep sound that I cannot name. Elda Tanasso, ’37 [ 31 ]
