| wrung itself out like a sponge | B |
| in glades of rain | C |

| then in a lifting | F |
| of wisps and scarves of smoke rings | E |
| from about the islands disclosing | F |
| what had been wavering | F |
| fishnet pliss as a smoothness | E |
| of peau de soie or just ironed | G |
| percale with a tatting | F |
| of foam out where the rocks are | H |
| the sheened no color of it | I |
| the bandings of platinum | J |
