“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”

“Hard if, though cast away for life with Yankees,
A Frenchman couldn’t get his human rating!”
