CATTERED Moluccas Not knowing, day to day, The first days end, in the next noon; The placid water Unbroken by the Simoon;

Thick foliage Placid beneath warm suns, Tawn fore-shores Washed in the cobalt of oblivions;

Or through dawn-mist The grey and rose Of the juridical Flamingoes;

A consciousness disjunct, Being but this overblotted Series Of intermittences;

Coracle of Pacific voyages, The unforecasted beach: Then on an oar Read this:

"I was And I no more exist; Here drifted An hedonist"
