It is here Long breath is needed Only the Great Ones will reach The small ones must wait for their return The Season is coming The time of New Life There is a long journey And the timing must be correct There has been Death The Song still rings the World But there are fewer singing I remember their Voices When we go down We will sing the names of the Great Ones Those who have passed from the Now Their echoes will show us the way

Translation* (*from The Song)
It is here Long breath is needed Only the Great Ones will reach The small ones must wait for their return The Season is coming The time of New Life There is a long journey And the timing must be correct There has been Death The Song still rings the World But there are fewer singing I remember their Voices When we go down We will sing the names of the Great Ones Those who have passed from the Now Their echoes will show us the way
It is not down in any map; true places never are. Herman Melville
