    Poem by Mark Strand but I dont know which collection it is from . If I find out more I will post again .Only collections I know of are Man and Camel , and New and Selected poems .
    There are about 10 others , I think , most of them out of print .

    Hi , glad you found it . The BBC Ads and the programmes in this series are wonderful . Particularly enjoyed the one from their archives With Philip Larkin and John Betjeman.
