From theEncyclopedia of Marvels, Life Forms and Other Phenomena of Zamonia and its Environsby Professor Abdullah Nightingale 'Mountain Maggot, The' [poem]. This seventy-eight-stanza poem by Wilfred the Wordsmith is regarded as the acme of Zamonian organic verse.'Mountain Maggot, The' [poem] [cont.]. Wilfred puts himself in the place of a Mountain Maggot and gives a highly detailed account of its laborious journey through ferruginous rock. In the final verse he makes the Maggot find its way out into the open air and thereby lends meaning to its seemingly pointless endeavors. This suggests that the poet intended his rhyming quatrains to be a hymn to a hard-working life and its underlying purpose.
