“It is true that the rivers went nosing like swine,
Tugging at banks, until they seemed
Bland belly-sounds in somnolent troughs,
That the air was heavy with the breath of these swine,
The breath of turgid summer, and
Heavy with thunder’s rattapallax....”

“Your top has sunk too low,
Your base has spread too wide,
For you to roll one stone
Down if you tried.”
