Explore "Coast Yarn" by Edwina Stanton Babcock on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Skies pebbled with stars, / Sea, breathing like a sleeping animal, / Wind nuzzling wet shagginess of moors. / The coarse bright strains of an accordion, / Perversely stretched and shrunken / Against a wall of dark.
Brown faces, high cheekbones, / Polyglot sea-words; / A cold, dark swiftness; / Hardness of diligence / For shrewd, tight-fisted gain.
