They are as good as salt.
If someone had brought them

"Why should she give her bounty to the dead?
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?"

more thinner than recall
more seldom than a wave is wet
more frequent than to fail"

Angular rock

Green skyscraper

Black ziggurat

Miniature

Made

“The flamingo, a fire on the lagoon,
Is it a tree that burns in the sunshine?
The bird is a tree, a fire, a wild passion.”
