________________________________________________
Title: The Love Of The Archer Prince Author: Edward Powys Mathers [More Titles by Mathers] The Khan. The son of the Khan. The love of the son of the Khan. The veil of the love of the son of the Khan. The clear breeze that lifted the veil of the love of the son of the Khan. The buds of fire that scented the clear breeze that lifted the veil of the love of the son of the Khan. The Archer Prince whose love kissed the buds of fire that scented the clear breeze that lifted the veil of the love of the son of the Khan. And the girl married the Archer Prince whose love kissed the buds of fire that scented the clear breeze that lifted the veil of the love of the son of the Khan.
[Note: THE LOVE OF THE ARCHER PRINCE: this form of poem, with one rhyme and repetitive and increasing lines, is a familiar one in Thibet; and thence it has entered Kafiristan and become a popular manner of composition Archipelago. English readers will remember an analogous poem, "The House that Jack built."] [The end] GO TO TOP OF SCREEN |
