Heaps of them, shoals of them!

Hurtling impassioned through fiery-tongued rapture!

Leaping for glories all avid to capture

Bounteous æons of star-beating bliss!"

I heard a voice cry, and I'm sure it said this:

Though the cook said the noise was a tree and a bird ...

But I heard! Gods, I heard!
