Soon
they
found
another
leg
and
the
other
arm
.
Now
each
hand
,
with
an
eye
under
its
palm
and
an
arm
dangling
from
its
wrist
,
rode
on
a
leg
separately
about
the
beach
.
Hop
,
hop
,
hop
,
they
went
,
peering
among
the
rocks
.
One
found
an
ear
and
at
the
same
moment
the
other
found
the
giant
torso
.
Then
the
busy
hands
fitted
the
legs
to
the
torso
,
then
they
fitted
the
arms
,
each
fitting
the
other
,
and
the
torso
stood
up
with
legs
and
arms
but
no
head
.
It
walked
about
the
beach
,
holding
its
eyes
up
in
its
hands
,
searching
for
its
lost
head
.
At
last
,
there
was
the
head
--
eyeless
,
earless
,
nested
in
a
heap
of
red
seaweed
.
Now
in
no
time
the
Iron
Man
had
fitted
his
head
back
,
and
his
eyes
were
in
place
,
and
everything
in
place
except
for
one
ear
.
He
strode
about
the
beach
searching
for
his
lost
ear
,
as
the
sun
rose
over
the
sea
and
the
day
came
.
32
The
two
gulls
sat
on
their
ledge
,
high
on
the
cliff
.
They
watched
the
immense
man
striding
to
and
fro
over
the
rocks
below
.
Between
them
,
on
the
nesting
ledge
,
lay
a
great
iron
ear
.
The
gulls
could
not
eat
it
.
The
baby
gulls
could
not
eat
it
.
There
it
lay
on
the
high
ledge
.
33
Far
below
,
the
Iron
Man
searched
.

At
last
he
stopped
,
and
looked
at
the
sea
35
Was
he
thinking
the
sea
had
stolen
his
ear
?
Perhaps
he
was
thinking
the
sea
had
come
up
,
while
he
lay
scattered
,
and
had
gone
down
again
with
his
ear
.
36
He
walked
towards
the
sea
.
He
walked
into
the
breakers
,
and
there
he
stood
for
a
while
,
the
breakers
bursting
around
his
knees
.
Then
he
walked
in
deeper
,
deeper
,
deeper
.
37
The
gulls
took
off
and
glided
down
low
over
the
great
iron
head
that
was
now
moving
slowly
out
through
the
swell
.
The
eyes
blazed
red
,
level
with
the
wavetops
,
till
a
big
wave
covered
them
and
foam
spouted
over
the
top
of
the
head
.
The
head
still
moved
out
under
water
.
The
eyes
and
the
top
of
the
head
appeared
for
a
moment
in
a
hollow
of
the
swell
.
Now
the
eyes
were
green
.
Then
the
sea
covered
them
and
the
head
.

The
gulls
circled
low
over
the
line
of
bubbles
that
went
on
moving
slowly
out
into
the
deep
sea
.

One
evening
a
farmer
's
son
,
a
boy
called
Hogarth
,
was
fishing
in
a
stream
that
ran
down
to
the
sea
.
It
was
growing
too
dark
to
fish
,
his
hook
kept
getting
caught
in
weeds
and
bushes
.
So
he
stopped
fishing
and
came
up
from
the
stream
and
stood
listening
to
the
owls
in
the
wood
further
up
the
valley
,
and
to
the
sea
behind
him
.
Hush
,
said
the
sea
.
And
again
,
Hush
.
Hush
.
Hush
.

Suddenly
he
felt
a
strange
feeling
.
He
felt
he
was
being
watched
.
He
felt
afraid
.
He
turned
and
looked
up
the
steep
field
to
the
top
of
the
high
cliff
.
Behind
that
skyline
was
the
sheer
rocky
cliff
and
the
sea
.
And
on
that
skyline
,
just
above
the
edge
of
it
,
in
the
dusk
,
were
two
green
lights
.
What
were
two
green
lights
doing
at
the
top
of
the
cliff
?
