Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)
“Here is the bread of time to come,
Here is its actual stone.”
The Man With the Blue Guitar (1937)
Context: Here is the bread of time to come,
Here is its actual stone. The bread
Will be our bread, the stone will be
Our bed and we shall sleep by night.
We shall forget by day, except
The moments when we choose to play
The imagined pine, the imagined jay.
