Published: 27 Nov 2006 Updated: 27 Nov 2006 Warnings: Type: Romance Characters: Any of you Chapter 1 - poem Proscribed by all the earthly lords and princes, Eternal insurgent at any king, You saw the light in banishment and grievance, Drank of the Universal sunny spring. Your roads were lit by stars. And, looking skywards, You have cognized the freedom - sweetest thing. In a jail, while your custodians kept silence, You heard the Universal sunny spring. And you did pity lords, so blindly haughty, For they in the shallow importance did sink. And never will they take a sip of waters, Where flushes the Universal sunny spring. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Downloaded from Open Scrolls Archive (https://www.openscrolls.net) on Sun Nov 15, 2026 3:01 am
