On Some Words and Expressions Used by Writers of the Ashram [1]

Under the gloam, like a withdrawing wave

I heard some flute-soul’s visionary woe ...

If you can justify the word “gloam” I would suggest

I heard in gloam like a withdrawing wave

A visionary flute-soul’s plumbless woe.

23 September 1934
