A sporadic but enthusiastic contributor to Wikipedia working at a university in Melbourne, adopting the current Wikipedia contribution pattern of great intensity over short bursts. Current goal is to write-up a dozen substantive FA's over the next few years, we'll see how that goes... Not a great one for talk pages, so excuse my apparent lack of social graces.

Cumulus mediocris and congestus over Swifts Creek, Australia

I bind the Sun's throne with a burning zone,

And the Moon's with a girdle of pearl;

The volcanoes are dim, and the stars reel and swim

When the whirlwinds my banner unfurl.

From cape to cape, with a bridge-like shape,

Over a torrent sea,

Sunbeam-proof, I hang like a roof,--

The mountains its columns be.

The triumphal arch through which I march

With hurricane, fire, and snow,

When the Powers of the air are chained to my chair,

Is the million-colored bow;

The sphere-fire above its soft colors wove,

While the moist Earth was laughing below.

- 'The Cloud', Percy Shelley
