I found something resembling your request in the poem "The Gates of Damascus" by James Elroy Flecker (1884-1915) at http://www.geocities.com/~spanoudi/poems/flecker1.html "This is the song of the South Gate Holder, A silver man, but his song is older..." A biography of James Elroy Flecker can be found athttp://www1.arcs.ac.at/users/wk/fairway/flecker.html Hope this is a help to you! |
