Sivu 277 - Of treeship — first a seedling hid in grass ; Then twig ; then sapling ; and, as century rolled Slow after century, a giant bulk Of girth enormous, with moss-cushioned root Upheaved above the soil, and sides embossed With prominent wens globose, — till at the last The rottenness, which Time is charged to inflict On other mighty ones, found also thee.
