A hundred wrymouthed wisps.”

Ever, ever
Stir and shiver
The reeds and rushes
By the river:
Ever, ever,
As if in dream,
The lone moon's silver
Sleeks the stream.

What lost love,
Moon, reeds, rushes,
Dream you of?– Walter de la Mare.

Lest water-nymphs should pull him from the brink ...'

Entering the river she was cleaned,
shining like a white stone in the rain,
and without looking back she swam again
swam towards emptiness, swam towards death.
