Catching the Bull
« I seize him with a terrific struggle.
His great will and power are inexhaustible.
He charges to the high plateau far above the cloud-mists,
Or in an impenetrable ravine he stands. »
He dwelt in the forest a long time, but I caught him today! Infatuation
for scenery interferes with his direction. Longing for sweeter grass, he
wanders away. His mind still is stubborn and unbridled. If I wish him to
submit, I must raise my whip.
