A man is reclining with a Celtic harp in his hand at the prow of a sailboat — It happened, as they were still journeying on the open sea, that Faithful John, as he sat in the forepart of the ship and made music, caught sight of three ravens in the air flying overhead. Then he stopped playing & listened to what they said one to another.
