As the world spins heavily around the SunWith its load of human woe,As politics become a circus and lions rule the show, And the audience laughs turn red and run:.“Quite unexpectedly, as VasserotThe armless ambidextrian was lightingA match between his great and second toe,And Ralph the lion was engaged in bitingThe neck of Madame Sossman while the drumPointed, and Teeny was about to coughIn waltz-time swinging Jocko by the thumbQuite unexpectedly the top blew off:.“And there, there overhead, there, there hung overThose thousands of white faces, those dazed eyes,There in the starless dark, the poise, the hover,There with vast wings across the cancelled skies,There in the sudden blackness the black pallOf nothing, nothing, nothing — nothing at all.”.Archibald MacLeish
