3. A Sword
Four Wheels
“Four are its wheels, and nine its doors;
it’s stuffed full, bound with greed,
and born from a bog.
Great hero, how will I keep going?”
“Having cut the strap and harness—
the wicked desire and greed—
and having plucked out craving, root and all:
that’s how you will keep going.”
