Voss And Shuggie Bain



He was thinking:
It's torture reading Voss
after the book about the Bains.

2 lines later, up popped:
she began secretly to torture
her handful of reins.

She was punishing her self and horse
for her insipid comment:
Nobody, I think, could fail to be impressed by these ships.

He was thinking:
Better would have been,
'There's nobody would not
be impressed by this scene.'

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
4.5.22. The loading-the-ships scene in Voss by Patrick White. 'Shuggie Bain' by Douglas Stuart, a much easier read than the character study.
