    Jesus speaking about John the Baptist.

    “He held the world upon his nose
    And this-a-way he gave a fling.
    His robes and symbols, ai-hi-hi
    And that-a-way he twirled the thing.
    Sombre as fir-trees, liquid cats
    Moved in the grass without a sound.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
