Excerpt from Ballads of Revolt Warned thee Of days to come, of the weep ing, the pain, and the anguish, Wailing Of woman and child, and cursing Of man, sore-stricken, The burden of earth forgot, the burden of earth defenceless. But, as a child that is satiate, God turned him at last from his plaything. Out of his fingers he cast the strings and the threads Of direction. Henceforth he left thee to stray and to drift, as a feather that rises. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
