Explore "Night and Day" by Thomas Burke on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
The waters of the river flow swiftly at Limehouse Hole, / Past wharves, and ugly gardens, / Past beautiful steel ships and tawny sails, / Past clamorous factories and broken boats and bells.
Throughout the day these things are one -- / One body of dire endeavour. / But when the evening introduces the night, / This thing is broken into a thousand delicacies, / And the warm notes of night / Make happy discord of the day's harsh harmonies.
