 poem (in quantitative metre)  1942  Pub: 'On Quantitative Metre (1942)'

Journey's End

The day ends lost in a stretch of even,
A long road trod—and the little farther.
    Now the waste-land, now the silence;
A blank dark wall, and behind it heaven.



Part VII : Pondicherry (Circa 1927-1947) > Poems Published in On Quantitative Metre
