Whose Feet Are Four And Two And Three


Grateful Dead: into Days Between...2/9/93





A thing there is
whose voice is one;
whose feet are four
and two and three.
So mutable
a thing is none
that moves in earth
or sky or sea.
When on most feet
this thing doth go,
its strength is weakest
and its pace most slow.

--Athenaeus
The Riddle of the Sphinx


Days Between ...2/18/93
