The Tale of Melon City
Vikram Seth
The following poem is taken from Mappings which was published in 1981
and is included in the Collected Poems by Vikram Seth.
The king, in this poem, is ‘just and placid.’ Does he carry his notion of
justice a bit too far?
(After Idries Shah)
In the city of which I sing
There was a just and placid King.
The King proclaimed an arch should be
Constructed, that triumphally
Would span the major thoroughfare
To edify spectators there.
The workmen went and built the thing.
They did so since he was the King.
The King rode down the thoroughfare
To edify spectators there.
