THE PASSAGE TO THE NEW WORLD
Page 9

The Northern seas are cold and cruel grey;
Across them sailed the fair tall Elven folk.
Southward, the seas are blue, serene and warm;
From that soft mist, with many a merry joke;
Sweet Spirits came. From West, at close of day,
Beneath sails brilliant as a peacock’s fan,
Djinni arrived. From sunrise and through storm,
Across the Eastern ocean, last came-Man.

Additional info on page:

The above poem reads in a rather strange way. In addition it does not rhyme.
There is another poem in the book, on page 32, with the same structure and rhyme, which may be combined with this poem.

The Northern seas are cold and cruel grey;
New World Elf, Goblin, Centaur, Troll and Fay-
Across them sailed the fair tall Elven folk.
Five. centuries since their shining elders spoke;
Southward, the seas are blue, serene and warm;
Man’s ship made land. They fled his awful form.
From that soft mist, with many a merry joke;
Dark ones hid jewels and disappeared like smoke;
Sweet Spirits came. From West, at close of day,
Spirits lay treasure down and slipped away.
Beneath sails brilliant as a peacock’s fan,
The First Age ended; the New Age began.
Djinni arrived. From sunrise and through storm,
The wind still brings the sounds of that Sweet Swarm;
Across the Eastern ocean, last came-Man.
Now, for their Honey-find it, if you can.

This may be a coincidence, but it is interesting.

    If you flip the map upsidedown and look at it with one eye, on the lower left is a guy holding up a map. There is so many other things hidden in these pages. It just takes looking at it from the right angle.
