Fountain

Lay whole your worries, lay whole your sight, onto the ferryman, for he has never not known your worries; nor has he not seen your sight. Breathe not your pain, Will not your ache, for the terrene, shall ever not be tamed, and your hands, they bleed and they stain; be maimed, framed, inflamed. So be not you wary, drink up your sherry wrinkled up old cells; Come! Let him undress, lay light within his merry nest. Abide in him, set your thoughts to rest, As the ferryman rows you to an aisle bequest. ********** This is based on Freudian Psychoanalytic Theory of Personality. The ferryman stands for the superego, and the second stanza symbolizes the nature of id , this is a ballad by our superego to our ego(our ego according to this theory,refers to our balanced self, between good and evil), and the aisle bequest represents our innate nature overflowing from god.
