“Her fist of a face died clenched on a round pain;
And sculptured Ann is seventy years of stone.
These cloud-sopped, marble hands, this monumental
Argument of the hewn voice, gesture and psalm,
Storm me forever over her grave”

Panting, and back on board, we line the rail
With trousers ripped, light wallets, and lips bleeding.”
