A breath, a wind, A shadow, a phantom, And never had I touched. The hem of its garment. Stephen Crane
When the prophet, a complacent fat man, Arrived at the mountain-top He cried: "Woe to my knowledge! I intended to see good white lands And bad black lands— But the scene is grey. Stephen Crane

Two or three angels. Came near to the earth. They saw a fat church. Little black streams of people. Came and went in continually. And the angels were puzzled. To know why the people went thus, And why they stayed so long within. Stephen Crane
