Forrest Fenn Treasure Question.... Does 'IT' stay the same?
As we all know there are instances of 'IT' in the poem...
Does this 'IT' always refer to the same 'thing' or does it change throughout the poem? What do you think?
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin
it where warm waters halt
And take
it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there
it’s no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
If you’ve been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is
it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I’ve done
it tired, and now I’m weak.
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
The first two= your quest.
3rd= it is. (straight foreword)
The last two seems straight forward as well. He wanted to take the chest with him, like in his first draft of the poem.
