Sarkis an old Greek Shepherd, called the madman: Jesus and Pan
“
In a dream I saw Jesus and My God Pan sitting together in the heart of the forest.
They laughed at each other's speech, with the brook that ran near them, and the laughter of Jesus was the merrier. And they conversed long.
— Kahlil Gibran
