Yours is not (I regret to say) the story they tell / although you howl and gash yourself / scurrying out of the tombs

where you now live. / God forces some. / God’s prophet came

to send your unclean spirit / into pigs, who ran amok. / I saw you

at the bottom of the cliff of pity / diving in pig blood— / “cleansed” now.

Thought:

“Wheresoe’er I turn my view,
All is strange, yet nothing new;
Endless labour all along,
Endless labour to be wrong;
Phrase that Time has flung away,
Uncouth words in disarray:
Trickt in antique ruff and bonnet,
Ode and elegy and sonnet.”

Samuel Johnson | “Lines on Thomas Warton’s Poems”
