Explore "Palimpsest Of Twilight" by D.H. Lawrence on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
DARKNESS comes out of the earth / And swallows dip into the pallor of the west; / From the hay comes the clamour of children's mirth; / Wanes the old palimpsest.
The night-stock oozes scent, / And a moon-blue moth goes flittering by: / All that the worldly day has meant / Wastes like a lie.
The children have forsaken their play; / A single star in a veil of light / Glimmers: litter of day / Is gone from sight.
