With stride colossal, on from hall to hall ;
While far within each aisle and deep recess,
His winged minions in close clusters stood,
Amazed and full of fear; like anxious men
Who on wide plains gather in panting troops,
When

‘I’m so sorry,’ said Dorothy
‘I hope you’re fond of fried eggs for your breakfast^’ went on Mrs Creevy
Dorothy hastened to assure her that she was very fond of fried eggs
‘Well, that’s a good thing, because you’ll always have to have the same as
what I have So I hope you’re not going to be what I call dainty about your
food I always think,’ she added, picking up her knife and fork, ‘that a fried egg
tastes a lot better if you cut it well up before you eat it ’
She sliced the two eggs into thin strips, and then served them in such a way
that Dorothy received about two-thirds of an egg With some
difficulty
Dorothy spun out her fraction of egg so as to make half a dozen mouthfuls of it,
and then, when she had taken a slice of bread and butter, she could not help
glancing hopefully in the direction of the dish of marmalade.

There is a great difference between a
Bodhisattva
using unconventional behaviour to help someone because he scea what will be ultimately beneficial and a beginner with no realisation who, being very emotional, helps others in a bungling fashion which does not really benefit the other person and only harms his own practice.

You pallid ghost, and you, pale ashen spirit,
Who joyful in the bright light of day
Created all that
arrogant
display,
Whose dusty ruin now greets our visit:
Speak, spirits (since that shadowy limit
Of Stygian shore that ensures your stay,
Enclosing you in thrice threefold array,
Sight of your dark images, may permit),
Tell me, now (since it may be one of you,
Here above, may yet be hid from view)
Do you not feel a greater depth of pain,
When from hour to hour in Roman lands
You contemplate the work of your hands,
Reduced to nothing but a dusty plain?
