madmouth commented on the word wold
The gods talk in the breath of the wold
They talk in the shaken pine,
And they fill the long reach of the old seashore
With dialogue divine;
And the poet who overhears
Some random word they say
Is the fated man of men
Whom the ages must obey
-Emerson, from "The Poet"
