Poem by Arthur Guiterman.
I actually read two of those books and it was the magician's nephew and the yearling. I liked the magician's nephew better than the yearling.
They <span>both have a mood of fatalism and melancholy, and both mention death, and jazz. Both are realistic and pessimistic.</span>
The story involves creation from nothing. => <span>In the beginning there were no animals or humans, plants or trees. God uttered a command and the world began. (This is the biblical story of creation which was the sole product of God's word or Logos.)
</span>The story depicts a small amount of earth expanding, resulting in the origin of Earth. => <span>When there was no Earth, a gigantic cormorant dived into the water in search of food. When it returned to the surface, a small lump of mud sticking to its beak fell on the water. The lump grew until it brought up some mud that later became an island. The island grew into Earth. (This is a Mayan creation myth.)
</span>The story tells how natural forces interact to begin creation. => <span>Once upon a time, the Sky and his younger brother, the Sea, got into a sword fight. The sparks from their swords formed the planets.</span>
