Reading: “Sea-Ichor” poem by Ella Young, from her book Marzilian.

This is the poem I read during the show on St. Patrick’s Day.

SEA-ICHOR

By Ella Young (1867-1956), Irish poet, mystic, storyteller, Gaelic scholar and political activist. From her book, “Marzilian,” 1938.

Climbing, curving, falling.
the green shore-wave is,
Lost, and begun,
Done and undone:
High in air a hawk is calling,
Calling me
Out of the wilds of the sea,
to the track of the sun.

Sea-hawk, and sea-wave, I run
With the running wave,
going back,
(Light-foot where sea-spume hisses
And coils by the mer-folk’s lisses,)
Back, through plumed abysses,

To move, slow-moving with the tide,
Through caves where fanged beasts hide,
Alert and lone,
In dim recesses,
While to its clangorous goal
The tide-marge presses:
And pale sea-maidens, in the foam,
Lean and comb
Long langorous tresses.

From that dusk under ground,
Striving, where light is found, and salty air,
To rise and dare,
The glinting sky to dare,
A wave I would be
Moon-hound of the sea
With a myriad comrades fair:
White hound, white hound to leap
From perilous steep to steep,
To gather strength and choose At utmost surge to lose,
Shuddering back to the deep
Without a sound:
To sleep.

To sleep, and awake new born
At the mouth of night or of morn,
Hound of the stars and the sun,
Hound of the moon, to run
In the glittering moon-leash bound.

Readings included:

The History of the Telephone by Herbert N. Casson

“In the Dark II” Cristina Bauss, North Coast Journal. March 8, 2007.

“No blaring TV, background radio, humming computer, cranky refrigerator, popping toaster, beeping microwave, tinny ringing of cordless phone. My backup is an avocado-green rotary dial office model, circa 1962, that’s especially handy for both outages and confusing my teenage daughter’s friends. It rang once in two days, and I couldn’t use line two — my home-office line. I must confess I didn’t miss it.”
