    EPIGRAPH: That one should leave The Green Wood suddenly In the good comrade-time of youth And clothed in the first coat of truth Set out on an uncharted sea Who'll ever know what star Summoned him, what mysterious shell Locked in his ear that music and that spell And what grave ship was waiting for him there? The greenwood empties soon of leaf and song. Truth turns to pain. Our coats grow sere. Barren the comings and goings on this shore. He anchors off The Island of the Young.
