7/23/20 update:I resisted listening to this again for a couple of years. I felt the pull in 2017/2018, but ignored it as best I could. After all, I have so many other books to read and listen to. Also, they say the best things come to those who wait. ...more "

“Ode to an Expiring Frog
Can I view thee panting, lying
On thy stomach, without sighing!
Can I unmoved see thee dying
On a log,
Expiring frog!
Say, have fiends in shape of boys,
With wild halloo and brutal noise,
Hunted thee from marshy joys,
With a dog,
Expiring frog?”
