Diolch, thank you, unfortunately there’s a mistake in the version you’ve used: it should read: “that had *the* treasure in it” - this changes the meaning and rhythm of the phrase.
Here’s the correct version…
‘The Bright Field’ - #RSThomas
(Laboratories of the Spirit, Macmillan)
Text of poem - The Bright Field. I have seen the sun break through to illuminate a small field for a while, and gone my way and forgotten it. But that was the pearl of great price, the one field that had the treasure in it. I realize now that I must give all that I have to possess it. Life is not hurrying on to a receding future, nor hankering after an imagined past. It is the turning aside like Moses to the miracle of the lit bush, to a brightness that seemed as transitory as your youth once, but is the eternity that awaits you.
