Tulip That's What You Are
At the birth of the day
As a babe of the spray
Like a white star, tangled and far,
Tulip that's what you are.
Warm and wise as a mute
In the thunderbolt suit
Princely and torn, grasping the horn
Of the meanads of May.
Sleepy dreaming of dark
Silver Satyrs in parks
Statues that say, worship the day
For only humans you are.
Channels churning the grime
Inky dreams of our time
Into the Sun, where the white one
Poems them into a rhyme.
On a hill the clear shrill
Made the Titans most ill
Angels abound, and I kissing the ground
Thrilled to be around
Vineyards spangled with love
For the white dove above
Green and lean from the waste
Of the pastures of chaste
Preciously he is whole.
Twinkled eyes like a king
Charted seas on your skin
Like a White Star, tangled and far,
Tulip that's what you are.
The lyrics LIKE A WHITE STAR, TANGLED AND FAR of T. REX is also present in the album Unicorn (1969)
T. Rex, noti come Tyrannosaurus Rex fino al 1970, sono stati un gruppo rock britannico formato a Londra nel 1967 dal cantante, chitarrista e cantautore Marc Bolan. Bolan, leader, frontman e unico membro costante della formazione, ha guidato la band attraverso diverse fasi evolutive, partendo da sonorità folk-rock influenzate da artisti come Bob Dylan e The Beatles per poi abbracciare un glam rock più esplosivo e commerciale negli anni '70. Il successo di T. Rex è stato segnato da hit come "Get It On", "Children of the Revolution" e "20th Century Boy", che hanno contribuito a definire l'estetica e la musica del movimento glam rock britannico. Bolan, con il suo stile iconico e le sue performance carismatiche, è diventato un simbolo di quell'epoca, influenzando generazioni di musicisti successivi. La band ha pubblicato numerosi album di successo, tra cui "Electric Warrior" (1971) e "The Slider" (1972), che sono considerati pietre miliari del glam rock. Dopo la scomparsa di Bolan in un incidente stradale nel 1977, T. Rex si è sciolto.
