Lines 331-359: Here is no water...

<---PREV

331           Here is no water but only rock
332           Rock and no water and the sandy road
333           The road winding above among the mountains
334           Which are mountains of rock without water
335           If there were water we should stop and drink
336           Amongst the rock one cannot stop or think
337           Sweat is dry and feet are in the sand
338           If there were only water amongst the rock
339           Dead mountain mouth of carious teeth that cannot spit
340           Here one can neither stand not lie nor sit
341           There is not even silence in the mountains
342           But dry sterile thunder without rain
343           There is not even solitude in the mountains
344           But red sullen faces sneer and snarl
345           From doors of mudcracked houses
346            If there were water

347                And no rock
348                If there were rock
349                And also water
350                And water
351                A spring
352                A pool among the rock
353                If there were the sound of water only
354                Not the cicada
355                And dry grass singing
356                But sound of water over a rock
357                Where the hermit-thrush sings in the pine trees
358                Drop drop drip drop drop drop drop
359                But there is no water
