The Blind Harper

Picture
He is walking the sea-shore.
He seems to have one foot in the water and one foot in the sand.
As he feels the water deepen he evades it with a dexterity which has come from centuries of doing the same thing.
His wavering dance follows the ebb and flow of the tides.
He has been following the Northern coasts, searching, listening.
His dance defines the contours and continents.
He wanders on in the hopes of finding something.
He doesn't know what.
Text taken from "Bow Down" by Harrison Birtwistle and Tony Harrison, 1977
