Give and Give!
There are three things that are never satisfied,
Four never say, “Enough!”:
The barren womb,
The earth that is not satisfied with water—
And the fire never says, “Enough!”
And scorns obedience to his mother,
The ravens of the valley will pick it out,
And the young eagles will eat it.
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the1 midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin.
