On hearing the whole sky and the map
Behind my steps, without end, bear witness
By the ebbing wave itself that
This country never existed.

Of forms and features; it would strike you blind
Could I do justice to the full detail;
So, luckily for both, my phrases fail.

primal man ; they breed a progeny of evil and, for this, the ascetic
would eradicate them; but, at the same time, they are, in the
poet's view, the means by which man keeps firm hold on life, by
which he realises his
ancestral
kinship with 'earth.
