    “I call to mind the navy great
    That the Greeks brought to Troye town,

    Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
    Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
    Appeased the gods that them withstood.”

    Higher and higher he lies
    Above me in a blue light
    Shed by a tinted window.”

    Truth’s light at strange turns of the mind’s road,
    wrong turns that lead
    over the border into wonder....”
