33. Lot's Sea

Roving along the winding verge

Trying these problems as a lock,

Clarel upon the further marge

Caught sight of Vine. Upon a rock

LOW couchant there, and dumb as that,

Bent on the wave Vine moveless sat.

The student after pause drew near:

Then, as in presence which though mute

Did not repel, without salute

He joined him.

Unto these, by chance

In ruminating slow advance

Came Rolfe, and lingered.

At Vine's feet

A branchless tree lay lodged ashore,

One end immersed. Of form complete

Half fossilized--could this have been,

In ages back, a palm-shaft green?

Yes, long detained in depths which store

A bitter virtue, there it lay,

Washed up to sight--free from decay
