Panic poem – Aldous Huxley poems | Poetry Monster

A poem by Aldous Huxley (1894 – 1963)

The eyes of the portraits on the wall

Look at me, follow me,

Stare incessantly:

I take it their glance means nothing at all?

–Clearly, oh clearly! Nothing at all …

Out in the gardens by the lake

The sleeping peacocks suddenly wake;

Out in the gardens, moonlit and forlorn,

Each of them sounds his mournful horn:

Shrill peals that waver and crack and break.

What can have made the peacocks wake?
