PSYCHOMETRIST
I listened to a man, and he
Had no word to say to me:
Then unto a stone I bowed,
And it spoke to me aloud.
- The force that bindeth me so long,
Once sang in the linnet's song;
Now upon the ground I lie,
While the centuries go by!
- Linnets shall for joy atone
And be fastened into stone;
While, upon the waving tree,
Stones shall sing in ecstasy!
James Stephens, The Hill of Vision (1912)
