[Janet Kenny]

Oh I know who wrote this humane and surprising sonnet with the odd meter. The last line is a wail for human suffering.

Although I understand why Mr Cassity thought of "echo" I like "telegraph" because the weeping crater symbolises and signals tragedy and loss. The idea of a place where grief is concentrated is very Polynesian.
(As a New Zealander I remember the Tangiwai Bridge disaster which impressed the meaning of the name "weeping waters". The Maori and Hawaiian languages connect. Waialeale means rippling or over-flowing waters.)
