A stocky frame, curtains of skin on cheeks

Drained slightly of their fat; gash in the neck

Where pus was emptied lately; one eye dim,

And growing dimmer; almost blind in that.

And when he walks he rolls a little like

A man whose youth is fading, like a cart

That rolls when springs are old. He is a moose,

Scarred, battered from the hunters, thickets, stones;

Some finest tips of antlers broken off,

And eyes where images of ancient things
