We descend upon you and all things—we arrest you all; 
We realize the soul only by you, you faithful solids and fluids; 
Through you color, form, location, sublimity, ideality; 
Through you every proof, comparison, and all the suggestions and determinations of
 ourselves. 

You have waited, you always wait, you dumb, beautiful ministers! you novices!

Gyroscope

...
A silver nearly silence gleaning a still-
ness out of speed, composing unity
From spin, so that its hollow spaces seem
Solids of light, until it wobbles and

Trainor the Druggist

...Only the chemist can tell, and not always the chemist,
What will result from compounding
Fluids or solids.
And who can tell
How men and women will interact
On each other, or what children will result?
There were Benjamin Pantier and his wife,
Good in themselves, but evil toward each other:
He oxygen, she hydrogen,
Their son, a devastating fire.
I Trainor, the druggist, a mixer of chemicals,
