<h3><SPAN name="The_Giantess" id="The_Giantess"></SPAN>The Giantess</h3>
<p class="margin-b">
I should have loved—erewhile when Heaven conceived<br/>
Each day, some child abnormal and obscene,<br/>
Beside a maiden giantess to have lived,<br/>
Like a luxurious cat at the feet of a queen;<br/>
<br/>
To see her body flowering with her soul,<br/>
And grow, unchained, in awe-inspiring art,<br/>
Within the mists across her eyes that stole<br/>
To divine the fires entombed within her heart.<br/>
<br/>
And oft to scramble o'er her mighty limbs,<br/>
And climb the slopes of her enormous knees,<br/>
Or in summer when the scorching sunlight streams<br/>
<br/>
Across the country, to recline at ease,<br/>
And slumber in the shadow of her breast<br/>
Like an hamlet 'neath the mountain-crest.<br/></p>
