Poems, 1947-1961 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poems, 1947-1961

You know as well as I Darkness is not just the sun gone out of the sky. You know, too, though you may not choose to remember, Darkness as something intimate and near, Not the long nights advancing to December And then retreating slowly half a year. You too have understood: darkness can lie Behind the Observer's eye, A great darkness indeed.
