The Skaters Black swallows swooping or gliding
In a flurry of entangled loops and curves:
The skaters skim over the frozen river.
And the grinding click of their skates as they impinge upon the surface,
Is like the brushing together of thin wing-tips of silver.
("The Skaters" by John Gould Fletcher)
