But Adeline was not indifferent: for
(Now for a common-place!) beneath the snow,
As a Volcano holds the lava more
Within—et cætera. Shall I go on?—No!
I hate to hunt down a tired metaphor,
So let the often-used Volcano go.
Poor thing! How frequently, by me and others,
It hath been stirred up till its smoke quite smothers!
