Excerpt from The Three Hills and Other Poems
On a Railway Station Is it that a year ago I stood upon this self-same spot Is it that since a year ago The place and I have altered not Is it that I half forgot, A year ago, and all despised For a space the things that I had prized The race of life, the glittering show Is it that now a year has passed Of vain pursuit of glittering things, Of fruitless searching, shouting, running, And greedy lies and candour cunning, Here as I stand the year above Sudden the heats and the strivings fail And fall away, a fiuctuant veil, And the fixed familiar stones restore The old appearance-buried core, The moveless and essential me, The eternal personality Alone enduring first and last i' No, this I have known in other ways, In other places, other days.

Excerpt from The Three Hills and Other Poems
Antinomies On A Railway Station
As I stand waiting in the rain
For the foggy hoot of the London train,
Gazing at silent wall and lamp
And post and rail and platform damp,
What is this power that comes to my sight
That I see a night without the night,
That I see them clear, yet look them through,
The silvery things and the darkly blue,
That the solid wall seems soft as death,
A wavering and unanchored wraith,
And rails that shine and stones that stream
Unsubstantial as a dream?
What sudden door has opened so,
What hand has passed, that I should know
This moving vision not of trance
That melts the globe of circumstance,
This sight that marks not least or most
And makes a stone a passing ghost?
