Zechariah wanders in his longing Even as he cherishes his state. Choosing reason rather than belonging, He feels the pathos of his complex fate. A modern prophet must be only human, Relinquishing the myths of god and tribe. In visions passionate, he must illumine A glory that needs neither faith nor bribe, Having a domain he can describe.
