Palamedes: A Mystical Colloquy
Peacock-shooting once on the Essex marshes
with David McCord, hunched in that cold blind,
at first my literal mind
could only gape at what treasure the winedark sea,
or its winedark inscrutable backwash, had cast up
at our frozen feet — an inscription, a kind of kenning,
blazed on an oar-blade: haddock hateth hake.
