  Fretted the pygmy-body to decay:
  And o'er-informed the tenement of clay.

  Pleased with the danger, when the waves went high
  He sought the storms...

The component elements change direction, like iron filings near a magnet - towards the house of God in Mecca.

• The Long March The Red Army is not afraid of hardship on the march, the long march. Ten thousand waters and a thousand mountains are nothing. The Five Sierras meander like small waves, the summits of Wumeng pour on the plain like balls of clay. Cliffs under clouds are warm and washed below by the River Gold Sand. Iron chains are cold, reaching over the Tatu River. The far snows of Minshan only make us happy and when the army pushes through, we all laugh. October 1935
