For him the woods were a home and gave him the key 



Of knowledge, thirst for their treasures in herbs andfloivers. 



The secrets held by the creatures nearer than we 



To earth he sought, and the link of their life with ours : 



And where alike we are, unlike where, and the veined 



Division, veined parallel, of a blood that flows 



In them, in us, from the source by man unattained. 



Save mark he well what the mystical woods disclose." 



Meredith, Melampus.
