“The winter moon,
Brightening the skirts of a long cloud.”
Observe the pictorial power of these quotations:
“Make broad thy shoulders to receive my weight.”
“Straining his eyes beneath an arch of hand.”
“One black dot against the verge of dawn.”
Most forceful are the following phrases:
“And the days darken round me, and the years,
Among new men, strange faces, other minds.”
“From the great deep to the great deep he goes.”
“Authority forgets a dying king.”
