The Taranterbury Tales continue:
(I) moved from the forest - frozen in the moment (Bob Dylan: Tarantula)
In the song lyrics below, said it could be that ‘forest’ is not a noun, but a comparative adjective; ie, ‘fore’, ‘forer’, ‘forest’:
Upon four-legged forest clouds The cowboy angel glides (Bob Dylan: Gates Of Eden)
The noun rendition from “Tarantula”, likely a reference to the following song lyrics:
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest Where the people are many, and their hands are all empty (Bob Dylan: A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall)
A woody motif that’s a hallmark of singer/songwriter/musician Bob Dylan:
Born in 'Liz Texas timber Up where the eagles fly (Tony Attwood: Patty's Gone To Laredo ~ Dylan)
Drawn from songs back a ways in time.
Lyrics of one modernized beneath:
I've been to the wild wood, mother Make my bed soon For I'm weary with hunting And would like to lie down (Martin Carthy: Lord Randal ~ traditional)
Which brings up an obvious observation:
(E)verybody talks about the middle ages as if it was actually the middle ages (Bob Dylan: Tarantula)
Likewise, one might ask, How come historians had the foresight to call it World War One?
(T)here are only three things that continue Life - Death & the lumberjacks are coming (Bob Dylan: Tarantula)
For sure, no false prophet there!:
I cut down trees, I wear high heels Suspendies and a bra I wish I'd been born a girlie Just like my dear papa (Monty Python: The Lumberjack Song ~ Tomlinson, et.al.)
