He picked up a pebble
and threw it into the sea.And another, and another.
He couldn't stop.He wasn't trying to fill the sea.
He wasn't trying to empty the beach.He was just throwing away,
nothing else but…—Norman MacCaig, “Small boy”

A filth of leaves, she said, a froth, she said
Of sudsy flowers, and there’s your mawkish Spring.
Oh, barebone tree, what has it done to you?
Black field, you’re gone but for remembering…—Norman MacCaig, “Green stain”
