An idea of the past

"HERE ARE ENSHRINED THE LONGING OF GREAT HEARTS AND NOBLE THINGS THAT TOWER ABOVE THE TIDE THE MAGIC WORD THAT WINGED WONDER STARTS THE GARNERED WISDOM THAT HAS NEVER DIED."

------------------------------------

IT CAME FROM A STATUE
AND FROM A BOOK
AND FROM A PERSON
AND FROM A LOOK
IT CAME FROM BEYOND THAT
AND FROM PLACES WE NEVER TOOK
IT CAME FROM THE STRATOSPHERE
BEYOND SPACES NEVER BOUND
AND WITH THAT MY ASSURANCE IS
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FOUND
