Along one blind atomic pilgrimage
Whereon by crass chance billeted we go
Because our brains and bones and cartilage

Most mournfully away in an old chest
Of hers, and put some chopped-up cedar boughs
In with them, and tore down the slaughterhouse.”

With trembling care, knowing that most things break;”
