Eyeball of water,”

Owl-downy, soft feminine feathers; but what
Soared: the fierce rush: the night-herons by the flooded river cried
fear at its rising
Before it was quite unsheathed from reality.”

A world without a meaning, and had room,
Alone amid magnificence and doom,
To build himself an airy monument”
