To foreign parts is blown by fame;
Seek him in his native town,
He is hidden and unknown.”

A mist that is like blown snow is sweeping over all,
Valley, river, and elms, under the light of a moon
That seems unlike itself, that seems unchangeable,
A glittering sword out of the east.”

Like dust blown through the streets of Rome,
Change ever, too; we have no home,”
