177. Cézanne

By Alfred Kreymborg


OUR door was shut to the noon-day heat.
We could not see him.
We might not have heard him either—
Resting, dozing, dreaming pleasantly.
But his step was tremendous—	5
Are mountains on the march?

He was no man who passed;
But a great faithful horse
Dragging a load
Up the hill.	10
