As with The teacher complains I found this effort among some old papers . Perhaps I should have left it there. However , as it is in my poor remembrance the first poem I ever wrote , and one that gave me the great satisfaction of baffling the university lecturer to whom I showed it, I put it here as a matter of historical interest. Don't ask me what it means , I no longer know . It did have the pretentous subtitle of An experiment in synaethesia Deep down, deep down , deep down Hearts are pounding in uneasy dream while high above, across the shrilling silver shrilling stars a purple shadow swoops and slowly wheels the brazen clangour of metal moon dies in the echo of a wooden bell while the deep blue bowl of night is humming till the whirring rattle of a falling star shatters its pattern. But still deep down , deep down , uneasy hearts are pounding in the night.
