Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rough Trails and Silver Meadows Oh! I am the god who SO mightily trod Trampled Chaos and tore it asunder, Rose from the mire and the mists and the fire Reeking with heat and throbbing with thunder; Who drank the blood of the league-long things That came to bathe in the boiling springs.
