Aye, but at least it means something. You can't compare it to flatulence like:

...it is the sinners' dust tongued bell claps me to churches
when with his torch and hourglass, like a sulphur priest,
his beast heel cleft in a sandal,
time marks a black aisle kindle from the brand of ashes,
grief with dishevelled hands tear out the altar ghost
and a firewind kill the castle...
(alright officer, I'll come quietly)
