I had this lapse...

It turned out she counted her humps as mountains.
Perhaps so, as informed by a reflexive reference,
and for I say Rev. greek MEGA marks reflexivity.

 Poets' Corner - Edna St.Vincent Millay - Renascence and Other Poems

 [1917]

 Renascence

 ALL I could see from where I stood

 Was three long mountains and a wood;

 I turned and looked another way,

 And saw three islands in a bay.

 So with my eyes I traced the line

 Of the horizon, thin and fine,

 Straight around till I was come

 Back to where I'd started from;

 And all I saw from where I stood

 Was three long mountains and a wood.

 Over these things I could not see;

 These were the things that bounded me;

 And I could touch them with my hand,

 Almost, I thought, from where I stand.

 And all at once things seemed so small

 My breath came short, and scarce at all.

...(you know why!)...
