Shapes

“The gods themselves,
Humbling their deities to love, have taken
The shapes of beasts upon them. Jupiter
Became a bull, and bellowed; the green Neptune
A ram, and bleated; and the fire-robed god,
Golden Apollo, a poor humble swain.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Her bones
under the flesh are white
as sand which along a beach
covers but keeps the print
of the crescent shapes beneath.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
