Surely, Shakespeare is wicked and the map a bad example  
  With ships and sun and love tempting them to steal —  
  For lives that slyly turn in their cramped holes  
  From fog to endless night? On their slag heap, these children  
  Wear skins peeped through by bones and spectacles of steel  
  With mended glass, like bottle bits on stones.  
  All of their time and space are foggy slum.  
  So blot their maps with slums as big as doom.
