OTHERS have divers paints and enamels, br Lavish and bright on breast and wing feathers: br You, Guatemalan, have sunken all colours br Into glory of greenness! br br There may be palms as greenly resplendent, br Palms by the Fountain of Youth in Anahuac br Such greens there may be on sea-sunken bronzes br The Gates of Callao! br br There may be words in rituals spoken br To Quetzalcoatl who makes verdure through rain-flow br Words like the gash made by knives of obsidian br To tell of such greenness!br br Padraic Columbr br
