‘Come Sieur Cavala,’ boomed Syrophoenician. ‘You were a singer-poet - this we all know. Yet we have none of us heard your poetry!’

‘Not so,’ I objected. ‘My last recital received only a chilly reception.’

‘But sing us something now! We’ll surely be more appreciative.’

I demurred. I knew no songs except my own, and they, I insisted, would not be appropriate to the occasion. But the rest of the troop joined Syrophoenician in insisting, and eventually I sang, unaccompanied:On the cold hill and under the sky,

Standing alone in fall weather,

Lonely winds passing by

As I and my sorrow walked together.

Then gone, gone.
