that was for the earth of your stomach.
The belly button singing its puzzle.
The intestines winding like the alpine roads.
It was made to enter you
as you have entered me....”

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Is it that mens frayle eyes, which gaze too bold,
She may entangle in that golden snare:”
