A Poem For Today - [Words carved in a limestone boulder]

[KEN DICKINSON]

[Words carved in a limestone boulder]

Leonidas of Tarentum (Italy, third century BCE)

You—passing through on foot and alone—don't drink 
this sun-staled water, clouded with slime. Beyond 
these grazing cows, much farther uphill, go under 
that far pine, which all the shepherds know. You'll find 
a sweet clear spring gushing from deep in the rock. 
It's even colder than the snows far to the north of here.

Reginald Gibbons
