Great Regulars: The passage ends with the Pedlar's skill

at weaving stories. He is the holy fool, the savant, Bob Dylan's "Mr Tambourine Man," forever dancing through the "jingle-jangle morning," spinning rhymes. He embodies the very qualities that Wordsworth and Coleridge strove for in their revolutionary collection "Lyrical Ballads," which in style and subject stretches from the homely to the heavenly.
