&quot;Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Have they not been made such a fool in their squalor?<br /> <br /> For they desired a sign and sought for the wise<br /> <br /> When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes&quot; - Wolves at the Gate

In his hollow fern, nests the owl:
An innocent face with a permanent scowl.
Fearful of dawn, and cunning by dusk,
A wise screech whom none would trust!
Patiently, in his hollow, waits the owl.
