Who am I?

Sir Markus

Nach einer kurzen Unterhaltung über über den Zusammenhang von Seele und Sternen fragte man mich, wer ich sei. Das war meine Antwort. Leider habe ich von der fragenden Person nie wieder etwas gehört.

The question of my identity
I will answer thee
Contained in human frailty
A wolf does see

Remembering times gone by
When cosmic lore prevailed
Man's soul still would fly
Towards the stars, their home preordain'd

My soul yet yearns,
But knowing that times will change
My fire still burns.

Of the old ones I am,
Called here to remember
What church and fear would ban.

Now you might guess my name
Or ask for it, which, if you tell me yours in kind return
I wouldn't think to blame.
