A cream of phospherescent light

Floats on the wash that to and fro

Slides round his feet—enough to show

Many a pendulous stalactite

Of naked mucus, whorls and wreaths

And huge festoons of mottled tripes,

With smaller palpitating pipes

Through which some yeasty liquor seethes.

Seated upon the convex mound

Of one vast kidney, Jonah prays
