Work Varies in Patterns and Forms
“From a Chinese Garden,” by Phillippa Sherman,
Holds Lovely Pictures of Nature
The class in versification, in the
English department, is continuing
to experiment in all sorts of ways
with verse patterns and verse forms,
ancient and modern. In response to
various requests brought about by
the Emerald etory a few weeks ago,
some different bits of the class
work are here given:
A Wind, Today
There is a wind today that whis
pers tales
Of deep green waterways and un
furled sails.
Strange lovely songs it sings of
romance bold,
Treasures of ancient kings, of silks
and gold.
Voices are droning of my task un
done—
Softly it sings to me and lureB me
on.
There is a wind today; Ghosts of
the past
Whisper of hidden things, of treas
ure vast.
Pale fingers beckon me from far
Cathay;
Romance is waiting me in pome
strange bay.
Voices are murmuring still of duty
drear—
How can I toil and feel the sea so
ncarf —Evelyn H. Schenck
Engaged
I have just become engaged.
I am feeling beatific, and am
dreaming dreams.
The Prince has come, he has swung
me up on his coal-black charger.
We are riding o’er hill and o’er dale
to his castle on the shore of the
great sea.
There, in golden gowns, surrounded
by courtiers in
Many-hucd coetumes, I shall sit and
eat of baked
Ortolans, and roasted nightingale’s
tongues, while
Boautiful dusky-haired maids will
play on silver harps
And glowing tawny-haired ladies-in
-waiting will sing sweet songs,
And seraphic golden-haired dancers
will dance in mazy circles with
rainbow draperios.
I will sleep on a perfumed couch,
while tingling music will weave
dreams for me.
Everything I could desire will ap
pear at my wish.
“Dearest” speaks a nasal voice:
“We’ll have to scrape and
Pinch along for a long long while
I’m afraid.” ....
I am no longer engaged.
—M. Pitch

A Plea
I would add my voice to tho wail
of throngs,
To their loud laments and piteous
cries;
Though not of my sordid and futile
wrongs,
Of my lack of faith, my hypocrite’s
sighs,
But only as one, who, before ho
dies
Would ask one small gift—an earn
est. plea—»
To add ono verse to immortality!
...
From a Chinese Garden
Hoar Frost.
This morning the garden is covered !
With bright moonlight
That last night shone warm and soft, |
And now, forgetting to go,
Is cold and crisp.
l’nrt of a Sonnet sequence to be
called
A Ranch Wife’s Horizon
No more the first tlireo seasons in
their sounds
And colors held significance for her :
Whoso heart had ceasod to catch
tho rooting stir
Of spring or taste the yield of sum
mer grounds
Or burn and clear with autumn’s
frosty air;
The kitchen blind, disturbed no
wider
Than a dusty inch, was threaded by
a spider
To the stool on which she sat with
silent stare.
So evident that hungry loneliness
Had beggared darkly to all barren
death
Inside her mind, her deep unhappi
ness
Ice-locked beneath the snow-storm’s
thrusting breath—
Her life undifferent from the win
ter sun
Near the day’s ultimate oblivion.
—Walter E. Kidd

Women Are Like Winds
Women are like winds:
Some are warm and dull and stif
ling
As the perfume of a desert night
that the
Heat waves carry Heavenward:
Some are sweet and tender a<s the
Summer breeze
That carries the love-warm pollen
from the
Golden heart of one red rose to an
other:
Some are gay and elusive as the
whisking gust
That dances the autumn leaves
dizzy
With its whimsical whirling:
Some are cool and true as the icy
blast
That sweeps from slick, white moun
tain snow
In-the black of night.
Women are like winds—
But who enjoys a calmt
