The percussion of boxes, the teapot, the cry of many voices for the water to sing, [what remains beats (?)], the impatient wing under the iron lid

What is the giant shoot of water?

Ooh, Alex, that's the Geneva landmark, the Jet d'Eau. It was some sort of 19th century pressure release valve, but the water shoots up so high and looks so interesting, it turned into an attraction! It really does still work as a valve for the water system, too.
