And winged by that arch modeller, the tongue,

It slips through the lips, and careers, a bird.

If the length to be traversed is unfair,

Symmetry is marred; speakers must prepare

For dazed confusion in their audience,

And only a blurred rumbling in the air.

Then set a Herald in a market place.

For him thousands of eyes gaze from one face;

And he flings at the whole a single word,

That each will drink-in as his special grace.
