    “The elaborate star-light throws a reflection
    On the dark stream,
    Till all the eddies gleam;

    From terrified, invisible beast or bird:
    Image of poignant recollection.”

    sternly allotted sandpile
    Mhow silently
    emit a tiny violet flavoured nuisance: Odor?

    comes out like a ribbon lies flat on the brush”
    —E.E. (Edward Estlin)
