Rain against the glass ...

I'm reading E M Forster's Maurice ...

There's a photograph of Forster on the cover -

A delicate, sad looking, face - 

Neat hair -

A small moustache - 

Almost Pooterish -

Yet I think of him, stroking the Egyptian boy's hair -

Later, in India, at a feast for Krishna -

I think, too, of Geoff -

Anne and I climbing the narrow stair - 

The dancer - 

The dark city beyond the window -

The moments almost forgotten - 

The rain against the glass -
