Phenomena

Great-enough both accepts and subdues; the great frame takes all creatures; From the greatness of their element they all take beauty. Gulls; and the dingy freightship lurching south in the eye of a rain-wind; The airplane dipping over the hill; hawks hovering The white grass of the headland; cormorants roosting upon the guano- Whitened skerries; pelicans awind; sea-slime Shining at night in the wave-stir like drowned men's lanterns; smugglers signaling A cargo to land; or the old Point Pinos lighthouse Lawfully winking over dark water; the flight of the twilight herons, Lonely wings and a cry; or with motor-vibrations That hum in the rock like a new storm-tone of the ocean's to turn eyes westward The navy's new-bought Zeppelin going by in the twilight, Far out seaward; relative only to the evening star and the ocean It slides into a cloud over Point Lobos.
