    “But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
    Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.”

    “You could almost see the brass on her gleaming,
    Not quite. The mist was to light what red
    Is to fire. And her mainmast tapered to nothing,
    Without teetering a millimeter’s measure.
    The beads on her rails seemed to grasp at transparence.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
