A wonderful line from a wonderful poem,
Bb! It's Philomythus speaking to Misomythus in
Mythopoeia:
Quote:
I would that I might with the minstrels sing
and stir the unseen with a throbbing string.
|
I must admit, a wish closer to my heart comes a few lines later:
Quote:
or in fantastic banners weave the sheen
heraldic emblems of a lord unseen.
