Absalom and Achitophel • 1681
The people's prayer, the glad diviner's theme, The young men's vision, and the old men's dream!
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The verse gathers a whole community's hopes into one shared longing: the people pray for it, the seer welcomes it, the young imagine it and the old dream of it. Different generations and voices are united by a single aspiration.
