Standing hippopotamus, c.1900 BC, (faience)
Egyptian 12th Dynasty
THE HIPPOPOTAMUS
Behold the Hippopotamus!
We laugh at how he looks to us,
And yet in moments dank and grim
I wonder how we look to him.
Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!
We really look all right to us,
As you no doubt delight the eye
Of other hippopotami.
