The Watergaw
Hugh MacDiarmid wrote "The Watergaw" in a Scots dialect. I have translated the poem into modern English to make it easier to read and understand. A watergaw is a fragmentary rainbow.

in-flight convergence
This poem has been titled "in-flight convergence" and "Landmarks" and there are two versions. In the first version the dashes should be white space, but many websites "shrink" spaces down to a single space automatically, making the dashes necessary.
