Clouds Hill is the name of a cottage that T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) retreated to often after his military successes in the Arabian Peninsula. In interviews, Jonathan Meiburg has talked about how he sees Lawrence’s retreat into nature as a sort of penance for the colonial nature of his count...
What can I tell you?
I wasn't anyone's son
I jumped over mountains
I vaulted the islands
I roared through the houses
I skimmed on the oceans, alone
And see only outlines
I was the last king
I was a blaze in the sun
I climbed to the cloud base
I rode in the crosswinds
I sleep in the open
I slide through the fences
I hide in the hallways
My armor is frozen
My eyes are a glittering stone
I move in starlight
Oh, mama
The light is so bright
The dark is so dark
