"Entrance and exit wounds aresilvered clean, The track……" — Robert Graves
"Entrance and exit wounds aresilvered clean, The track aches only when the rain reminds. The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood. The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm. The blinded man sees with hisears and hands As much or more than once with both his eyes."
