Cranmer-Byng, [1916]\n AUTUMN MOONLIGHT\n \n Not yet has the cool moon topped the hill.\n White are the floating clouds that fill\n Half heaven's void; while to and fro\n By the verandah windows go\n My halting steps that pause as though\n Stilled for the sound of one I love.\n The flying brightness shimmers through the grove,\n And, mirrored on the pine-ringed pool,\n Makes her dream-waters beautiful.\n Now Autumn's purest alchemy anew\n Quickens the moonlight and distils the dew,\n And silence, coiled more closely round my walls, \n Strangles each tiny rumour that befalls.\n \n \n \n Next: Morning","title":"A Feast of Lanterns: Liu Tzu-Hui: Autumn Moonlight","type":"page"}
