One of my favorites of Quincy's.

The font's lack of much distinction between hyphens (-), which join words, and en dashes (–), which separate them, slightly spoils my experience of the poem, though.

When I search on "-", only the two hyphens in the poem ("wing-tipped" and "slow-accruing") are ID'ed, and when I search on "–" the en dashes are revealed to, indeed, be en dashes. But visually speaking, in this font the en dashes might need to be turned into em dashes (—) in order to be told apart from the hyphens.
