“The island dreams under the dawn
And great boughs drop tranquillity;
The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
A parrot sways upon a tree,
Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”

“The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago ... had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.”
