Out of the tomb, we bring Badroulbadour, / Within our bellies, we her chariot. / Here is an eye. And here are, one by one, / The lashes of that eye and its white lid. / Here is the cheek on which that lid declined, / And, finger after finger, here, the hand, / The genius of that cheek. Here are the lips, / The bundle of the body and the feet.
