Canto 127Vast-winged the wind ran
Book 16. Part Seven - Pondicherry Circa 1927 – 1947
Vast-winged the wind ran, violent, black-cowled the waves
O’er-topped with fierce green eyes the deck,
Huge heads upraised.
Death-hunted, wound-weary, groaned like a whipped beast
5the ship,
Shrank, cowered, sobbed, each blow like Fate’s
Despairing felt.
