Freeze solid! And the Wabash turn to a leaden
Cinder of ice! The Marañon is too tepid, we must
Is freezing slowly in the blasts. The black Yonne
Congeals nicely.”

The river bears no empty bottles, sandwich papers,
Silk handkerchiefs, cardboard boxes, cigarette ends
Or other testimony of summer nights. The nymphs are departed.”

“Words are like leaves; and where they most abound,
Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
