| Harriet Monroe, ed. (1860–1936). Poetry: A Magazine of Verse. 1912–22. | | | | The Sea Storm | | By Mark Turbyfill |
| | From “Voluntaries”
I HURTLED like a hound for joy | |
| Through the storm | |
| Of your magnificence— | |
| Wave on crashing, dashing, crested wave, | |
| You hurl yourself against space! | 5 |
| You are positive force, | |
| You might crush me to nothingness; | |
| Yet I revel like a golden super-carp | |
| Flashing pas de poisson | |
| Through flowers of foam. | 10 |
| |
| And I know your ecstatic response, | |
| Exquisite monster, | |
| As I blossom into glittering spray | |
| Above you! | | | | |
|
