That you shall find lies in the cellar, charred
Among the raspberries, and hew and shape it
For a doorsill or other corner piece
In a new cottage on the ancient spot.
The life is not yet all gone out of it.
And come and make your summer dwelling here....”

Let’s carve him as a dish fit for the gods,
Not hew him as a carcase fit for hounds.”
