He peered from the bushes, half afraid,
our first cautious explorer.
Dreaming of fatter animals,
having no thought of factory man.
The Green Man lost his spirit
in our carvings and engravings,
conjured images of everyman.
The Green Man image appears in many old church carvings - memory of early pagan times. 'Everyman' - 16th. century morality play:
Everyman I will go with thee and be thy guide,
in thy most need to be by thy side.'
