I have been a blue salmon
I have been a wild dog
I have been a cautious stag
I have been a deer on the mountain
and a stump of a tree on a shovel
I have been an axe in the hand
A pin in a pair of tongs
A stallion in stud
A bull in anger
A grain in the growing
I have been dead, I have been alive
I am a composer of songs

Quoted in a book called The Druids that I couldn’t read because it was too academic.
