The painted chief, and pointed spear,
And Reason’s self shall bow the knee
To shadows and delusions here.”

Nothing lets up or develops.
And this is neither a bad variant nor a tryout.
This is where the staring angels go through.
This is where all the stars bow down.”

But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by.”
