Kulóskap the master, and other Algonkin poems, Opening, part 13, sentence 89
That is beyond my ken, All I have heard is this: That the world will pass away In roaring fire and flame, While all the sea will rise Hot boiling into mist, And that the good with it Will rise on high to heaven; It may perhaps be so; I’ve only heard it told, Just heard it--and no more.
Who acts: That, I, All, world, sea · What happens: be, hear, pass away, roar, rise, boil · To what, where: this, fire, mist, high, sea · Speech: someone speaks here
