Hard upon ether came the origins
Of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in air
Midway between the earth and
mightiest
ether,--
For neither took them, since they weighed too little
To sink and settle, but too much to glide
Along the upmost shores; and yet they are
In such a wise midway between the twain
As ever to whirl their living bodies round,
And ever to dure as parts of the wide Whole;
In the same fashion as certain members may
In us remain at rest, whilst others move.

Turned round this while, and Richardetto spied;

layers upon layers of fragmentary garments, some of them mere collections of holes, held
together by dirt.
