Said King Pompey by William Walton
Performed by
William WaltonSaid King Pompey Lyrics
Said King Pompey
The emperor's ape
Shuddering black in his
Temporal cape
Of dust: "The dust is everything -
The heart to love
And the voice to sing
Indianapolis
And the Acropolis
Also the hairy sky that we
Take for a coverlet comfortably." ...
Said the Bishop
Eating his ketchup
"There still remains Eternity
(Swelling the diocese) -
That elephantiasis
The flunkeyed and trumpeting Sea!"
