Identity
I have been in many shapes:
I have been a narrow blade of a sword;
I have been a drop in the air;
I have been a shining star;
I have been a word in a book;
I have been a book in the beginning;
I have been a light in a lantern a year and a half;
I have been a bridge for passing over threescore rivers;
I have journeyed as an eagle;
I have been a boat on the sea;
I have been a director in battle;
I have been a sword in the hand;
I have been a shield in fight;
I have been the string of a harp;
I have been enchanted for a year in the foam of water.
There is nothing in which I have not been.
