Jimmy O'Connell Poems
(First Arabesque 1937)
Margot Fonteyn1919-1991
White cotton and silk in flow and muse,
...
He stands, blue baseball cap and chest waders,
knee high in dun green water; with flick
...
Each field could tell its own story
had we but the ear to give it understanding
or time to stand on each overgrown headland,
observing each season since centuries began.
...
Tunnelling through the darkness, our train
is rail-cornering into south Armagh.
...
on the other side of the silent velvet curtain,
the summer rain crackles and trickles
into the night, gathering its varied voices
...

(First Arabesque 1937)
Margot Fonteyn1919-1991
White cotton and silk in flow and muse,
A raven swan beauty gliding on the screen;
Her black eyes indwelling and demure,
A smile that graces and lithely dances;
She was one who had a need to be
Needed. A saint, then, and an artist?
Willing the one thing: a marriage of
Music and movement, her smile concealing
The longed for pain of all her knowing:
The coda in a pauper's grave is nothing
To our applause and fulfilment of dance.
