“Sunrise in the Irish Sea, dawn over Dublin Bay
after a stormy night, one shivering star;
and I picture the harsh waking everywhere,
the devastations of a world at war,
airfields, radio silence, a darkened convoy
strung out in moonlight on a glittering sea.”

“Now the ivory towers will be 'visitor centres'
visited mostly during the long winters
by sea-birds — cormorant, puffin, kittiwake —
and their quartz lenses' own impersonal stroke
while automatically their hard gem-like flames
circulating at night unseen in empty rooms
preside over global warming and polar melt-down,
over Bill Long's Marie-Celeste effect and 'sonar-singing dark'.”
