bask among such things as those.
Oh. it would surely be sublime,

grow, all day he feels the zephyrs
blow his flowing sideboards
through. And when I'd talk, in
burning words. of bumblebees

woodland things, he looks at me
as though he feels that my fat
head is full of wheels, and crankS
and rusty springs. He interrupts
