An extremely strange biographical poem that still needs some explanation. It seems to be a description of a red-haired, pipe-smoking, small man who can also become a landscape and a tree and can travel through history. It is a long poem in eight sections, which culminates in a mountain-top meditation reminiscent of Coleridge's "Mont Blanc."
