EPIGRAPH: A poet is like the birds of passage...
They pass singing in the distance, the world
Knows nothing of them except their voice...
I was singing, my friends, as a man breathes,
As a bird mourns, as the wind sighs,
As murmurs float on flowing water.
FROM: Le Poete Mourant, (1823), Poem, France
