Stepp’d in—one Friday, at the close of day—

And every head was turn’d another way—

Watching the grander guest. It seem’d to rise

Bulky and slow upon the southern brink

Of the horizon—fann’d by sultry sighs—

So black and threatening, I cannot think

Of any simile, except the skies

Miss Wiggins sometime shades in Indian ink—

Miss-shapen blotches of such heavy vapour,

They seem a deal more solid than her paper.
