Oxford, England

W. Y. ELLIOTT, Balliol College

Apocalyptic, thunderous,

The winds of dawn and dark have whirled

East unto west, evoking us

Where Washington convoys the world.

Blown from the ruined eaves of kings,
Old roosts of contumelious years,
They come on tempest-battered wings—
The breathless premiers and the peers;

They come, from famine-beggared marts,—
The banker-statesman, void of state;
They come, from shrines of broken hearts-
The human ministers of fate.

Shorn of their rainbow-shimmering veils,

Ancestral China and Japan

Rumble our occidental rails

Black-coated, cosmopolitan;
