Killed by drinking the Cheltenham waters.
If we had stuck to our Epsom salts
Wed not be lying in these vaults.”

My head a moon
Of Japanese paper, my gold beaten skin
Infinitely delicate and infinitely expensive.”

Is not that how good stories run?
The gods were sitting at the board
In their great house at Slievenamon.
They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
For all were full of wine and meat.”
