Preamble

Two limestone plates support the Aegean world.

The great Anatolian still lies flat,

But half an aeon since, through silent eyes:

'Ave!'

God watched the counterplate subside, until

Only its top and mountain tops remained

Above His brother, Lord Poseidon's, sea:

'And that, I shall call Greece. And those,

Her Archipelago,' said He. Then turned away

To hear Apollo and the Nine perform

Of Creation, from the stage at Table Bay.

They enter. They attend. They bow.

The Lord of Light and Mice gives them their note.

And then they sing:

'In the beginning there was no Beginning,

and in the end, no End...'
