To glittering paste,—the live worm troubles yet.)

Then, dry and moist, the varech limit-line,

Burnt cinder-black, with brown uncrumpled swathe

Of berried softness, sea-swoln thrice its size;

And, lo, the wave protrudes a lip at last,

And flecks my foot with froth, nor tempts in vain.

Such is Saint-Rambert, wilder very much

Than Joyeux, that famed Joyous-Gard of yours,

Some five miles farther down; much homelier too—

Right for me,—right for you the fine and fair!
