Low tide. The sea has finished with this lot:
a stone gathering greater than the last judgment,
every stone naked of earth covering, visible;
ocean shallowed of all tide power.
This can be ignored. It is not the end
of anything, only the dead interval
between quick and quicker events, big waves
and plenty to take our minds off a while.
Nevertheless, it's here in this morning.
A herring gull gasps in lieu of a song
and seems to shout "horror" over the fields.
Meanwhile, on a bough, a small thrush composes,
choosing from repertoires of known phrases,
never quite repeating, not quite repeating
[_Periglis_ from _Porth Eglos_ or _Landing Place at the Church_, - _Porth_
has been taken as a synonym for _cove_ ]
