Thank you for sharing that poem, Harry. I love the final lines:

The fallen apples, all the talks

And silence—like memory's sand

When the tide covers it late or soon,

And other men through other flowers

In those fields under the same moon

Go talking and have easy hours.

Perhaps this poem can partly explain why Thomas was a little irritated by Frost's poem. I'd forgotten Thomas had died shortly after. Sadly tragic.

Indeed Alia, a wonderful and oft forgotten poet.
