Poème

 

Richard was interested in

 

the slope of the land, the windings of the Yarra,

bell birds, white cockatoos, old gum stumps,

bandicoots, flying squirrels, bats, goannas,

dust and thunder, the old domicile, the horrid gap,

blank opening in the woods, banks,

gentlemen and ladies, riding dresses, perpetual

gleam of beaver, parasols,

silkiness, horses full of blood

and hearts.
