'The rainy Pleiads wester, Orion plunges prone, the stroke of midnight ceases, and I lie down alone. The rainy Pleiads of midnight ceases, and I lie down alone. The rainy Pleiads wester, and seek beyond the sea, the head that I shall dream of, and 'twill not dream of me.' This poem of A. E. Housman, a rendering of some Greek thing, was often, during these days, repeated to himself by Gulliver Ashe as a kind of liturgy, not exactly a prayer.
