many a lusty splinter
And many a rotten bough about.

only enjoyable in moments--moments of charming, minute observation, like
the description of a sunbeam thrown quivering on the wall from a basin
of water "which has just been poured out," lines not only charming in

Argonauts
see the eagle flying
towards Prometheus, and then hear the Titan's agonized cry.
