Det var sviket

The future is a misted landscape,

no man sees clearly, but at cyclic turns

There is a change felt in the rhythm of events, as when an

exhausted horse

Falters and recovers then the rhythm of the running hoof-

beats is changed: he will run miles yet,

But he must fall: we have felt it again in our own life time,

slip, shift and speed-up

In the gallop of the world
