Poetry corner: Ode to a Circlip

 David Traver Adolphus, Montag, 25 August 2008 in Partner- und Mitglieder-Blogs, blog.hemmings.com

With apologies to Lizzie Browning…

How do I hate thee, let me count the ways

I hate thee to the depth and breadth and height
My fingers can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of the clip that pinged into space.

I hate thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, to fix a king-pin by candle-light.
I hate thee freely, as I strive for Right;
I hate thee purely, as I turn from Praise.
I hate with passion thy deceptively simple design
That belies the sheer bastardness of trying to put you to use.

In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I hate thee with the ruby rich life blood I seemed to lose
From fingertips stabb’d by circlip plier,—I hate thee with the breath,
Sweat, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but hate thee better after thy death.

via Aston Martin Rust Oration
