Figure C5 APPETITE

Ascending now to a great banquet hall

We see a table, laden with a feast

Delicious in aroma: on each wall

Strange epiphytes and congeries of yeast

Serve us flesh not robbed from any beast,

A stew of trilobites, poached in white wine,

And many other species long deceased.

Here see art, science, Nature best combine,

And, with our end in sight, sit gratefully to dine.
