And the memory I started at—

My starting moves your laughter!

I crossed a moor, with a name of its own

And a certain use in the world no doubt,

Yet a hand's-breadth of it shines alone

'Mid the blank miles round about:

For there I picked up on the heather,

And there I put inside my breast

A moulted feather, an eagle-feather!

Well, I forget the rest.
