Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: Owelle Gate!
The spots upon a leopard’s skin Are never washed off by the rain Whereof these pillars once stood Thereof greatness rose in its hood Earth was saluted at the entrance Four market days in the instance Invincible to the colonial ira or era Who wouldn’t cringe at such aura? When words’re made perceptible Like of the Psalmist’s in the bible As, “Lift up your heads, O gates!” Eyes are so wont to stroll in gaits The summon of ages, today is spry For the ancient doors are lifted high In Nimo of Onyiuke’s trio royal line So come in O King of glory to dine! Dedicated to Owelle Achuama Odera (18 cen-1917), Owelle Michael (1918-1928) and Owelle Alfred Nkwocha (1928-1984). Fig: The main entrance gate (Uzomgbo) to the Owelle Onyiukes’ compound. Opposite the Ukwu akpu tree cut down in the year 2001, Abba village, Nimo. “Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors! That the King of glory may come in.” Ps. 24: 7 From "Medley of the Muse"
