Funnel Spider

Here hangs a trap spun by genius.

Woven of silk it is, of intent and cunning,

And shaped funnel-like by spider mathematics.

Awesome it that would set off on such a spinning

To wind a maze so infinite and erratic,

Most skills bested, by bold phenomena contrived,

Though the greater marvel is, the spider arrived.

This is no silken cone of shrewd display;

These are the threads of wonder spun to slay.
