10-An Ancient Tale Is Told

An ancient tale is told
 Of how the gods
 Having stolen from man his divinity
 Met in council to discuss where they should hide it

One suggested that it be carried to the other side of the earth and buried
 But it was pointed out that some men are great wanderers
 And that they might find the lost treasure on the other side of the earth

Another proposed it be dropped into the depths of the sea
 But the same fear was expressed
 That man, in his insatiable curiosity, might dive deep enough to find it even there

Finally, after space of silence, the oldest and wisest of the gods said
 Hide it in man himself
 Because that is the last place he will ever think to look for it

I sent my soul to the invisible
 The afterlife to foretell
 And returning, it said to me
 I myself am both heaven and [bad word]
