And a fountain’s arrow sprang forth,
With fiery arrow launched on high
leaving the air to imitate the earth beneath it.
It cleaved the air, and claimed the sky,

As though it were a garlanded tent,
As though some tent begemmed it were
its pole made of silver ingots.
With silver columns planted there.
