| "Is my father the sun then;a great glowing mass of fire?"(No.You are not of the sun!) "Then am I a child of the moon;shadowing daylights journey?" (No.The moon has no children)"Who says I am no one,for the moon is here,shining,and the sun is a star brightly burning?!"...(Neither do you share starlight lugh;for you are made of earth!)..."But what of the things I saw?What of the deeds I wrought?Are they nothing at all,or is it only smoke of a passing dream"?...(You dream brightly lugh!You give a name to a face that you alone can see)..."Then who am I?...The sun will not have me,nor moon her brightness be"...(pause)..."Even the stars give up no names"!..."What am I then"?...(silence)..."But wait!"..."Have I not walked upon the air?Given my skill for a cause better than I?"(you have;yes)"Am I so small as to be untouched by scars,or wounds?"(no;never)"Then must I be what I am,and no less!"(and what is that mortal man?)"I am lugh;son of the sun.Seeker of knowledge,but bearer of none!...I have no throne,nor power,nor presence in the world,yet I hold some favor in this place;made not of stone or steel,nor anything tangible,but of hearts desire for something spoken;written down,that makes us wonder for a place made of nothing real;being real,all the same!" |
