John Reed Biography

Wind smothers the snarling of the great ships,
And the serene gulls are stronger than turbines;

SOMEWHERE I read a strange, old, rusty tale
Smelling of war; most curiously named
The Mad Recreant Knight of the West.
...

Rainy rush of bird-song
Apple-blossom smoke
Thin bells water-falling sound
Wind-rust on the silver pond
...
