Chapter 16
A SICK MAN, AFTER SOME IMPATIENCE, IS INDUCED
TO BECOME A PATIENT
THE SKY SLIDES into blue, the bluffs into blood; the rapid Mississippi expands; runs sparkling and gurgling, all over in eddies; one magnified wake of a seventy four. The sun comes out, a golden huzzar, from his tent, flashing his helm on the world. All things, warmed in landscape, leap. Speeds the daedal boat as a dream.
(It's better to create than destroy what's unnecessary)
