Their methods of getting food<br>Are unconventional, numerous, various and sometimes<br> hilarious:<br>Some spiders spin webs as beautiful<br>As Japanese drawings, intricate as clocks, strong as rocks:<br>Others construct traps which consist only<br>Of two sticky and tricky threads. Yet this ambush is enough<br>To bind and chain a crawling ant for long<br> enough:<br>The famished spider feels the vibration<br>Which transforms patience into sensation and satiation.<br>The handsome wolf spider moves suddenly freely and relies<br>Upon lightning suddenness, stealth and surprise,<br>Possessing accurate eyes, pouncing upon his victim with the<br> speed of surmise.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Courtship is dangerous: there are just as many elaborate <br> and endless techniques and varieties<br>As characterize the wooing of more analytic, more <br> introspective beings: Sometimes the male<br>Arrives with the gift of a freshly caught fly.<br>Sometimes he ties down the female, when she is frail,<br>With deft strokes and quick maneuvres and threads of silk:<br>But courtship and wooing, whatever their form, are<br> informed<br>By extreme caution, prudence, and calculation, <br>For the female spider, lazier and fiercer than the male<br> suitor,<br>May make a meal of him if she does not feel in the same<br> mood, or if her appetite<br>Consumes her far more than the revelation of love's<br> consummation.<br>Here among spiders, as in the higher forms of nature,<br>The male runs a terrifying risk when he goes seeking for <br> the bounty of beautiful Alma Magna Mater:<br>Yet clearly and truly he must seek and find his mate and <br> match like every other living creature!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Delmore+Schwartz">Delmore Schwartz</a><div class=q>

His web is a cruel stair, to be sure,
Designed artfully, cunningly placed,
A delicate trap, carefully spun
To bind the fly (innocent or unaware)
In a net as strong as a chain or a gun.

There are far more spid..."></div>
