week.Its valleys darkened,its villages became still:For joy I did not move and dared not speak;Not doctors would cure it,but time,its patient skill  \nAnd constantly my mind returned to Troy.After I sailed the seas I fought in turnOn both sides,sharing even Helen'sjoy  \nOf place,and growing up—to see Troy burn一As Neoptolemus,that stubborn boy.  \nI lay and rested as prescription said.  \nManoeuvred with the Greeks,or sallied outEach day with Hector.Finally my bedBecame Achilles'tent,to which the loutThersites came reporting numbers dead.  \nIwas myself:subject to no man's breath:My own commander was my enemy.  \nAnd while my belt hung up,sword in the sheath,Thersites shambled in and breathlesslyCackled about my friend Patroclus'death.  \nI called for armour,rose,and did not reel.But,when I thought,rage at his noble painFlew to my head,and turning I could feelMy wound break open wide.Over againIhad to let those storm-lit valleys heal.  \n# THE BEACH HEAD\n\nNow that aletter gives me ground at lastFor starting from,I see my enterpriseIs more than application by a blastUpon a trumpet slung beside a gate,Security a fraud,and how unwiseWas disembarking on your Welfare State.  \nWhat should they see in you but what I see,  \nThese friends you mention whomI do not know?—You unsuspecting that a refugee  \nMight want the land complete,write in a toneToo matter-of-fact,of small affairs belowSome minister's seduction of the Crown.  \nAnd even if they could","cbCaicdkuxLCMz6x","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicdkuxLCMz6x","pdf",1920437,68,"English","#
