Too big by far. Pity me. <br> My eyes bulge and hurt. They are my one great beauty, even <br>so. They see too much, above, below. And yet, there is not much <br>to see. The rain has stopped. The mist is gathering on my skin <br>in drops. The drops run down my back, run from the corners of <br>my downturned mouth, run down my sides and drip beneath<br>my belly. Perhaps the droplets on my mottled hide are pretty,<br>like dewdrops, silver on a moldering leaf? They chill me <br>through and through. I feel my colors changing now, my pig-<br>ments gradually shudder and shift over. <br> Now I shall get beneath that overhanging ledge. Slowly. Hop. <br>Two or three times more, silently. That was too far. I'm <br>standing up. The lichen's gray, and rough to my front feet. Get <br>down. Turn facing out, it's safer. Don't breathe until the snail <br>gets by. But we go travelling the same weathers. <br> Swallow the air and mouthfuls of cold mist. Give voice, just <br>once. O how it echoed from the rock! What a profound, angelic <br>bell I rang! <br> I live, I breathe, by swallowing. Once, some naughty children <br>picked me up, me and two brothers. They set us down again <br>somewhere and in our mouths they put lit cigarettes. We could <br>not help but smoke them, to the end. I thought it was the death <br>of me, but when I was entirely filled with smoke, when my slack <br>mouth was burning, and all my tripes were hot and dry, they <br>let us go. But I was sick for days. <br> I have big shoulders, like a boxer. They are not muscle, <br>however, and their color is dark. They are my sacs of poison, <br>the almost unused poison that I bear, my burden and my great <br>responsibility. Big wings of poison, folded on my back. Beware,<br>I am an angel in disguise; my wings are evil, but not deadly. If <br>I will it, the poison could break through, blue-black, and <br>dangerous to all. Blue-black fumes would rise upon the air. <br>Beware, you frivolous crab.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Elizabeth+Bishop">Elizabeth Bishop</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=384025" data-title="Giant Toad de Elizabeth Bishop" data-description="I am too big.
