The ascent of the Rock was guarded by Barbary apes who delight in
stealing windshield wiper blades from the cars whose drivers stop
to admire them on the road uphill past the Governor's residence.
And at the pinnacle - there was a siren called "Eureka" calling to
airborne mariners, past the steep escarpments catching water,
under which, Spanish villagers in turn rode boats equipped with large
gas lights calling to the fruit of the deep at night, the swordfish
and the squid.
