“Watt’s need of semantic succour was at times so great that he would set to trying names on things, and on himself, almost as a woman hats.”

“The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
Who wore at their hearts the fire’s centre.
Born of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”

The sky is no longer a junk-shop,
Full of javelins and old fire-balls,
Triangles and the names of girls.”
