Analysis of the arow and the song
Robert Graves 1895 (Wimbledon) – 1985 (Deià)
i shot an arow into the air it fell to earth i knew not where for so swifty it flew the sight could not folow it in its flight. i breathed a song into the air it fell to earth i knew not where for who has sight so keen and stong that it can follow the flight of song
