Capt Llewellyn's Poem, from"How Green was my Valley"
Courage come to me from the height of the mountain, and with it came the
dignity of manhood.and knowledge of the tree of Life, for now I was a
branch, running with the vital blood, waiting in the darkness of the
Garden for some unknown Eve to tempt me with the apple of her beauty, that
we might know our nakeness, and bring forth sons and daughters to magnify
the Lord our God.
I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me, those who are to come.
I looked back and saw my father, and his father. and all our fathers, and
in front, to see my son, and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond. and
their eyes were my eyes
As I felt, so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as
to-morrow and forever. Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line
that
had no beginning, and no end, and the hand of his father grasped my
father's
hand, and his hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right
hand, and all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was, to
Time That is, and is not yet, raised their hands to show the link, and we
found that we were one, born of Woman, Son of Man, had in the Image,
fashioned in the Womb by the Will of God, the Eternal Father.
I was of them, they were of me, and in me, and I in all of them"
