“See The Child. He Is Pale And Thin, He Wears A Thin And Ragged Linen Shirt. He Stokes The Scullery Fire. Outside Lie Dark Turned Fields With Rags Of Snow And Darker Woods Beyond That Harbor Yet A Few Last Wolves. His Folk Are Known For Hewers Of Wood And Drawers Of Water But In Truth His Father Has Been A Schoolmaster. He Lies In Drink, He Quotes From Poets Whose Names Are Now Lost. The Boy Crouches By The Fire And Watches Him.”
