    A wounded deer leaps highest,
    I've heard the hunter tell;
    'Tis but the ecstasy of death,
    And then the brake is still.
    The smitten rock that gushes,
    The trampled steel that springs,,
    A cheek is always redder
    Just where the hectic stings
    Mirth is mail of anguish,
    In which its cautious arm
    Lest anybody spy the blood
    And, you're hurt exclaim.

The shriek was followed by another, louder and yet more agonizing..for once started upon that journey, the hog never came back. One by one the men hooked up the hogs and slit their throats. There was a line of hogs with squeals and lifeblood ebbing away.. until at last each vanished into a huge vat of boiling water (some still alive). The hogs were so innocent. They came so very trustingly. They were so very human in their protests. They had done nothing to deserve it.
