  1. With serpentine twistings.

    What if my words wind in and out the stone As yonder ivy, the God's parasite? Though they leap all the way the pillar leads, Festoon about the marble, foot to frieze, And serpentiningly enrich the roof, Toy with some few bees and a bird or two,— What then? The column holds the cornice up.

    1871, Robert Browning, Balaustion's Adventure
