THE WIND'S QUEST by FORD MADOX FORD

First Line: OH, WHERE SHALL I FIND REST?
Last Line: ANARCHIST JOURNAL, THE TORCH, IN 1891.
Subject(s): REST; WIND;
"OH, where shall I find rest?"
Sighed the Wind from the west;
"I've sought in vain o'er dale and down,
Through tangled woodland, tarn and town,
But found no rest."

"Rest thou ne'er shalt find..."
Answered Love to the Wind;
"For thou and I, and the great grey sea
May never rest till Eternity
Its end shall find."

@3Note.@1—These lines, the first I ever wrote, were printed in the
Anarchist journal, @3The Torch,@1 in 1891.
