Calibre

from the ABC set The gnomic hearth.

Calibre

of a gun firing into young flesh is as a bear led dancing through the
market town for child's pleasure.

of a man urging with a brawl a man to lay down his arms is as a wolf
pursuing prey, spilling blood eventually.

of a knot pulling tight on a rope in a storm holding the sheltering
canvas is as a bull charging on a crowd in a festive well-fed
steet.
