“But the number of sand I know,

45

and the measure of drops in the ocean;

The dumb man I understand, and I hear the speech of the speechless:

And there hath come to my soul the smell of a strong-shelled tortoise

Boiling in cauldron of bronze, and the flesh of a lamb mingled with it;

Under it bronze is laid, it hath bronze as a clothing upon it.”
