ENGLAND'S BEE GEE'S "Just for Four hundred seasons we all lived in Vain" ACID I Sitting on the grass Greens petal-a green. The leaf is deep my Lord: A childs challenge still fears the tips of trees- I fall more in circle from the cliffs. The air shrieks with its fine breath Coming upward its scent clings to one And I watch breezes blow me infantile Seeking a higher sight Insights toward living Struggling to reduce power to letting go As in our revelations at the first turns. Loving the faces of friends: Mystery turning their ashes Saintly beginnings rising to form. Waiting for all to unconceal time Listening to damage unraveling truth Parting is such sweet sorrow to tell A way out wildness of winged flutter. Wind moves from one place to another. Head bent under a strange ivory cast The silk of ageless dances surging up years of the mind A human's twirl without body's composite over this soul As to a mask is life upon the tight stretches of canvas Commencing to show slightness in open laid fingers Real as experience Eyes and forgiving Are the complete hands of a woman lining our world

'ENGLAND'S BEE GEE'S' / 'Just for Four hundred seasons we all lived in Vain' / 'ACID I' — a visionary nature-and-consciousness page moving from grass and cliffs toward sorrow, form, and the hands of a woman lining the world.

First of the Acid sequence. The page is no longer just noisy surface; its imagery now reads coherently as expansion of perception through wind, height, friendship, and bodily form. The Shakespeare echo sits inside a broader psychedelic meditation on revelation and tenderness.
