Due to lacking of the knowledge of Nile history, I could not get a clear-cut picture about the Nile obelisk. The obelisk in the poem below, seems a symbolic of a free soul.
Need your instruction.
Thanks.
The poem:
I asked a gypsy pal
To imitate an old image
And speak old wisdom.
She drew in her chin,
Made her neck and head
The top piece of a Nile obelisk
and said:
Snatch off the gag from thy mouth, child,
And be free to keep silence.
Tell no man anything for no man listens,
Yet hold thy lips ready to speak.
