'Wisdom must come on foot'

 For Epiphany Sunday, a short one by R.S. Thomas...

The First King

The first king was on horseback.
The second a pillion rider.
The third came by plane.

Where was the god-child?
He was in the manger
with the beasts, all looking

the other way where the fourth
was a slow dawning because
wisdom must come on foot.
