Mephisto Walz - 'KINGS' (1990's)

Mephisto Walz KINGS 


 Arthur William Ryder (March 8, 1877 – March 21, 1938) "Kings" ? (translator/poet)


THE PANCHATANTRA


"In sensuous coil

And heartless toil,

In sinuous course

And armored force,

In savage harms

That yield to charms —

In all these things

Are snakes like kings.
Uneven, rough,

And high enough —

Yet low folk roam

Their flanks as home,

And wild things haunt

Them, hungry, gaunt —
In all these things

Are hills like kings.

The things that claw, and the things that gore

Are unreliable things;

And so is a man with a sword in his hand..."

Of the 'geography' of Elphame/ Fairholme/Deidholme

One: The Waters: sensually inviting, yet seemingly full of 'creatures'.  Waterfalls that unreasonably fill many acres of land with shallow water, with the exception of 'gushing'. 'thick', misty waterfalls... Twa: The Earth, Subterranean pits that fill with water on command, the dissipate.  Serpents that appear and disappear on command. Three: Rainbow and Blinding circles or orbs which empower 'carriages/cars' with high velocity speed to different parts of Elf-home. Unrelated:  Highly Attractive 'people' with some sort of 'witching'... We neither care if you understand or believe...these 'things' are of 'OUR OWN'...
