Joseph Campbell was an American literary professor. His work explored the human experience and is often connected to the phrase “Follow your bliss” that was inspired by the Upanishads. He explored folklore and myth and is even thought to have inspired Star Wars. He’s regarded as a strong believer in the psychic unity of mankind.
‘I Will Go With My Father a-Ploughing’ describes the months of a boy’s life as he works alongside his father, “ploughing,” “sowing,” and “reaping.”
I will go with my Father a-ploughing
To the Green Field by the sea,
And the rooks and corbies and seagulls
Will come flocking after me.
