Swift and a broken rock / clatters across the steep shelf / of the mountain slope, / sudden and swift / and breaks as it clatters down / into the hollow breach / of the dried water-course: / far and away / (through fire I see it, / and smoke of the dead, withered stalks / of the wild cistus-brush) / Hippolyta, frail and wild, / galloping up the slope / between great boulder and rock / and group and cluster of rock.
