O young Mariner,
You from the haven
Under the sea-cliff,
You that are watching
The gray Magician
With eyes of wonder,
I am Merlin,
And I am dying,
I am Merlin
Who follow The Gleam.
--
"Merlin and the Gleam", st. 1 (1889).Alfred Tennyson (Lord)

Well, said Merlin, I know whom thou seekest, for thou seekest Merlin; therefore seek no farther, for I am he.
Thomas Malory
The country habit has me by the heart,
For he's bewitched for ever who has seen,
Not with his eyes but with his vision, Spring
Flow down the woods and stipple leaves with sun,
As each man knows the life that fits him best,
The shape it makes in his soul, the tune, the tone,
And after ranging on a tentative flight
Stoops like the merlin to the constant lure.Vita Sackville-West
Trusting Merlin is like giving a migrant scorpion a lift inside your hat.
Tim Powers
I have been Merlin wandering in the woods
Of a far country, where the winds waken
Unnatural voices, my mind broken
By a sudden acquaintance with man’s rage.R. S. Thomas

Of a far country, where the winds waken

By a sudden acquaintance with man’s rage.Taliesin
