Canto 131Cry of the ocean’s surges
Book 16. Part Seven - Pondicherry Circa 1927 – 1947
Cry of the ocean’s surges, the long hexameter rolling
Covers my spirit as tides roll over rapturous shores.
Foam on its tops the pentameter curls to its cadenced closing,
Two high waves, then a hush swoons on the ear in its fall.
