FROM his shoulder Hiawatha br Took the camera of rosewood, br Made of sliding, folding rosewood; br Neatly put it all together. br In its case it lay compactly, br Folded into nearly nothing; br But he opened out the hinges, br Pushed and pulled the joints and hinges, br Till it looked all squares and oblongs, br Like a complicated figure br In the Second Book of Euclid. br br This he perched upon a tripod - br Crouched beneath its dusky cover - br Stretched his hand, enforcing silence - br Said "Be motionless, I beg you!" br Mystic, awful was the process. br br br All the family in order br Sat before him for their pictures: br Each in turn, as he was taken, br Volunteered his own suggestions, br His ingenious suggestions.
