Seer

I was brave & climbed mountains.


I was proud & entered the rarified air.


I was mad & cried over chasms & cataracts.




A bard of the old world living beyond his era.




I won total audience.


My voice alone shattered the clear air.


My breath alone clouded the ringing pinnacles.




And no man heard me,


so far was I removed from the world of men.

[G. Bantock, Seer]
