Dream-Figures in Sunlight
Why buy Bret Harte, I asked, when I was prepared to supply home-grown fiction on the hoof?
—RUDYARD KIPLING, Something of Myself
I wake up in the city where Kipling lived,
Fell in love and wrote plain tales,
Where Hsiuan-tsang in the seventh century
Saw mortal pilgrims making death leaps
From an undying tree. The rampart stands,
The Ganges flows below, and nothing changes
In a hinterland whose dead-end streets
Have seldom known raiders. A hundred, a thousand
Years from now, may the sap-filled bough
Still print its shadow on running water,
And a dusty March wind blow its leaves
Towards a page of Kipling, a home-grown page.
