But now they draw off.

Lumb feels a reprieve, a lightening

Though the cattle continue to mill round and press closer

As if still multiplying out of the earth itself.

They are stripping their throats with terror-clamour

But they leave him his space.

He kneels up under the rain.

He shouts to the men.

He tells them who he is, he asks who they are

And what is happening.

What has he done and what do they want?

His voice struggles small in the grievous uproar of the

animals

Which now surge towards him as if helplessly tilted, with

sprawling legs,

And now as helplessly away from him

Like cattle on a foundering ship among overhanging and

crumbling cliffs of surge.
