It is because I breathe like fishes and live in the waters of Tomorrow that Death fears me...

How often I have intercepted thee, O Death!

O windy liar!

Thou canst do nothing against me;

If I command thee to stand back thou art afraid and cowerest,

For I have caught thee often and punished thee...

I am the greatest laugher of all,

Greater than the sun and the oak-tree,

Than the frog and Apollo;

I laugh all day long!
