  1. A striking poem with almost no verbs!
    "Hifted so to carnal ip: " with the exception of this strangely passive one

    'Hifted' Does this have anything to do with surfaces and volumes>?polygons , circles and solids? a poetic movement over oddball surfaces which 'virtue brown' tumbles, Clarify Jim Tucklin! love it!

  2. but it appears a related word Hifthorn the closest I know of to hift, to the English and suggestively in German and perhaps french refers to

    'The French horn is a brass instrument made of tubing wrapped into a coil with a flared bell. The double horn in F/B is the horn most often used by players in professional orchestras and bands. A musician who plays any kind of horn is generally referred to as a horn player.Wikipedia'
    Other names:Horn, de: Horn, Waldhorn, Ventilhorn, es: trompa or corno, fr: cor (d'harmonie), it: corno
