In an opal dream cave I found a fairy: / Her wings were frailer than flower petals, / Frailer far than snowflakes. / She was not frightened, but poised on my finger, / Then delicately walked into my hand. / I shut the two palms of my hands together / And held her prisoner. / I carried her out of the opal cave, / Then opened my hands. / First she became thistledown, / Then a mote in a sunbeam, / Then--nothing at all. / Empty now is my opal dream cave.Katherine Mansfield

Now I am a plant, a weed, / Bending and swinging / On a rocky ledge; / And now I am a long brown grass / Fluttering like flame; / I am a reed; / An old shell singing / For ever the same; / A drift of sedge; / A white, white stone; / A bone; / Until I pass / Into sand again, / And spin and blow / To and fro, to and fro, / On the edge of the sea / In the fading light-- / For the light fades.Katherine Mansfield

That deaf old man / With his hand to his ear-- / His hand to hi head stood out like a shell, / Horny and hollow. He said, "I can't hear," / He muttered, "Don't shout, / I can hear very well!" / He mumbled, "I can't catch a word; / I can't follow." / Then Jack with a voice like a Protestant bell / Roared--"Particulars! Farmhouse! At 10 quid a year!" / "I dunno wot place you are talking about." / Said the deaf old man. / Said Jack, "What the Hell!" / But the deaf old man took a pin from his desk, picked / a piece of wool the size of a hen's egg from his ear, / had a good look at it, decided in its favour and replaced it in the aforementioned organ.Katherine Mansfield
