Notes The third section of this poem makes reference to European headlines depicting ‘beasts of fable’. Reference is also made to searchlights and to the figure of a soldier/pilot. As the collection to which this poem belongs, *Plant and Phantom*, was published in 1941, the context appears to be WW2.
