There is no secret to it. Test the surface tension
First; place the foot. If currents run in opposition
Change direction. Where you end is not the point.
As in most miracles, the eye of the beholder
Counts. Fishermen, who wade perforce in their
profession,
Know mere wading, vintners watered wine. To feed
Five thousand does not much impress a caterer.
Raise up a dead embalmer if you wish to awe
Those few who care to have him back. And bear in
mind
Translation too is miracle. A walking by
Is not a walking on, and God is everywhere,
Not least, perhaps, in prepositions and their objects.
