With water.html">water were content; and Daniel
Acorns it made with hunger savorous,
That fed the Baptist in the wilderness;
The while among the verdant leaves mine eyes
Who wastes his life pursuing little birds,
My more than Father said unto me: "Son,
More usefully should be apportioned out."
I turned my face and no less soon my steps
They made the going of no cost to me;
And lo! were heard a song and a lament,
Such that delight and dolence it brought forth.
"O my sweet Father, what is this I hear?"
Perhaps the knot unloosing of their debt."
In the same way that thoughtful pilgrims do,
Turn themselves round to them, and do not stop,
Even thus, behind us with a swifter motion
A crowd of spirits silent and devout.
Each in his eyes was dark and cavernous,
That from the bones the skin did shape itself.
I do not think that so to merest rind
By famine, when most fear he had of it.
Thinking within myself I said: "Behold,
When Mary made a prey of her own son."
Their sockets were like rings without the gems;
Might well in these have recognised the 'm.'
Who would believe the odour of an apple,
And that of water, without knowing how?
I still was wondering what so famished them,
Of their emaciation and sad squalor;
And lo! from out the hollow of his head
Then cried aloud: "What grace to me is this?"
Never should I have known him by his look;
That which his aspect had suppressed within it.
This spark within me wholly re-enkindled
And I recalled the features of Forese.
