About this book
Ships in Harbour, by David Morton, includes poems headed Wooden Ships, October Day-Moon, A Garden Wall and Napoleon in Hades, among others. In Wooden Ships, the ships are remembering forests where they grew, the midnight quiet and the giant dance. October Day-Moon describes the thin and silver moon floating wide above oceans of yellow afternoon.
A Garden Wall says that the Roman wall was not more grave than this wall, which has no league at all with great affairs. Dawn lists the thousand muffled noises of the dawn, among them the drowsy stir of birds, surprised from sleep, and the bleat, far off, of closely-cabined sheep. Snow Dusk says that the iron twilight closes and a still, white sleep has fallen on the world.
