I am the nor' west air nosing among the pines I am the water-race and the rust on railway lines I am the mileage recorded on the yellow signs. I am dust, I am distance, I am lupins back of the beach I am the sums the sole- charge teachers teach I am cows called to milking and the magpie's screech. I am nine o'clock in the morning when the office is clean I am the slap of the belting and the smell of the machine I am the place in the park where lovers were seen. I am recurrent music the children hear I am level noises in the rmembering ear I am the sawmill and the passionate second gear. I, Time, am all these, yet these exist Among my mountainous fabrics like a mist So do they the measurable world resist. I, Time, call down, condense, confer On the willing memory the shapes these were: I, more than your conscious carrier, Am island, am sea, am father, farn, and friend Though I am here all things my coming attend: I am, you have heard it, the Beginning Question #6:what do you think of this poem? what points can you state?TimeAllen Curnow I am the nor' west air nosing among the pines I am the water-race and the rust on railway lines I am the mileage recorded on the yellow signs.
