“When there was no more lantern in the kitchen,
The fire got out through crannies in the stove
And danced in yellow wrigglers on the ceiling,
As much at home as if they’d always danced there.”

And the poor beetle that we tread upon
In corporal sufferance finds a pang as great
As when a giant dies.”

That can fix a hero’s rate;
Each to all is venerable.”
