Through many shapes; I lunged at the smooth throat
Of a great eel; it changed, and I but smote
A fir-tree roaring in its leafless top;
And thereupon I drew the livid chop
Of a drowned dripping body to my breast....”

And in a million Edens fall
A million Adams drowned in darkness,
For small is great and great is small,
And a blind seed all.”
