Sometime it's just completely over-the-top!
But still, unscrupulously epic, catch
Upon the burning lava of a song
The full-veined, heaving, double-breasted Age:
That, when the next shall come, the men of that
May touch the impress with reverent hand, and say
Behold,--behold the paps we all have sucked!
