So were it with me if forgetting could be willed.
Tell the grassy hollow that holds the bubbling well-spring
Tell it to forget the source that keeps it filled.”

of frayed rusty scrapiron,
is it the sea that shines?
Is it a road at the world’s edge?”

Within her hollow rind
What sleek facility
Of sea-conceited scop
To plumb the nether mind!”
