Ix: the Vendor's Plea
Darest V.C. –
Did not we notice their appearance?
Did not we hear the elders speak?
Darest V.C. –
We saw their assorted trumpets
With assorted chameleon voices they came;
Some: mere relics of the ancient tree;
Some: mere effigies of the orient tree;
Some: mere voices of the occident tree;
From far off the vendors spoke
– Performing rustic rites in city shrines! –
Darest V.C. –
Then spoke the vendors to the heavy ears of the gods:
“Let the birds to the communal nest again.”
