  • Au... au... aue... ha... hei: Line from a Maori haka, a traditional ancestral war cry that the New Zealand national rugby team, the "All Blacks", perform before their international matches. Their haka from their 1924-5 tour of Britain, Ireland, and France (Joyce attended their January 1925 match in Paris) included this line as "the sound of the 'New Zealand storm' about to break."
