Imagine human being springing into the all, like
bird with one wing clipped, and revolving three
times horizontally.
Imagine others skipping in the air like mammoth
grasshoppes bounding as an India rubber ball,
Girating and Revolving, setting all conceive ideas
Of human strength and endurance utterly at naught
