    “Below me trees unnumbered rise,

    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.”

    into our flesh our
    deaths, crossing the street, plum, quince,
    living in the orchard and being

    the fruit.”

    Where the River flows, with foreign flotations.
    There I was told: we have too many churches,
    And too few chop-houses.”
