Ulysses

red Indian what do they go about like that for only getting
themselves and their poetry laughed at I always liked
poetry when I was a girl first I thought he was a poet like
lord Byron and not an ounce of it in his composition I

thought he was quite different I wonder is he too young
hes about wait 88 I was married 88 Milly is 15 yesterday
89 what age was he then at Dillons 5 or 6 about 88 I
suppose hes 20 or more Im not too old for him if hes 23
or 24 I hope hes not that stuckup university student sort
no otherwise he wouldnt go sitting down in the old
kitchen with him taking Eppss cocoa and talking of course
he pretended to understand it all probably he told him he
was out of Trinity college hes very young to be a professor
I hope hes not a professor like Goodwin was he was a
potent professor of John Jameson they all write about
some woman in their poetry well I suppose he wont find
many like me where softly sighs of love the light guitar
where poetry is in the air the blue sea and the moon
shining so beautifully coming back on the nightboat from
Tarifa the lighthouse at Europa point the guitar that fellow
played was so expressive will I ever go back there again all
new faces two glancing eyes a lattice hid Ill sing that for
him theyre my eyes if hes anything of a poet two eyes as
darkly bright as loves own star arent those beautiful words
