$†«:...... a main boulevard, wide as a street, ......:«†$
†«:....... framed with clay vases dark as obsidian .......:«†
«:........ and taller than a person. in each vase ........:«
:......... was placed upright a leaf from a palm .........:
.......... tree or giant fern. the boulevard was ..........
