Capricious Iain and the Monarchs Offer Their Kingdoms
A riddle like verse recalls a capricious figure and kings offering realms. The speaker hints at flight from art and fate, living among treetops, fearing the sea, and the river’s delight while a boy loves the creature riding its back. A playful, mythic digression with animal imagery and guarded pride.
