Wuxi China Expat Poet Laureate Asks: Who Goes with Fergus?



Wuxi China Expatdom Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord McCluskey, flushed with success from his composing the poem In Flunders Fiord, asked who would ride with Fergus.

In an exclusive interview with the WCE Blog, McCluskey asked the following:  "Who will go drive with Fergus now, and pierce the deep wood's woven shade and dance upon the level shore?"

When the young interviewer from the WCE Blog volunteered, McCluskey offered him the following advice:  "Young man, lift up your russet brow, and lift your tendril eyelids, maid, and brood on hopes and fears no more.  And no more turn aside and brood upon love's bitter mystery; for Fergus rules the brazen cars, and rules the shadows of the wood, and the white breast of the dim sea, and all disheveled stars."
