The handsomest young man there,
And his neck and his breast and his arms
Were drowned in her long dim hair.”

And me supposed to be ignorant,
Or find it funny, or not to care....”

the wreck and not the story of the wreck
the thing itself and not the myth
the drowned face always staring
toward the sun”
