"The Larger Bowl (A Pantoum)" is the fourth track and third single from Rush's 2007 album "Snakes & Arrows".

Inspiration and lyrical structure

The lyrics were written by the drummer and primary lyricist, Neil Peart. The title was inspired by a "dysentery dream" he had while touring West Africa on his bicycle in 1988.Neil Peart. [http://www.rush.com/thegameofsnakesandarrows/Rush.Essay4.S&A.pdf "The Game of Snakes and Arrows"] (accessed May 19, 2007).]

Neil Peart's book includes a chapter entitled The Larger Bowl in which he describes the dream. The excerpt in which he mentions the song is as follows:

Anyway... a song was playing in the store, a plaintive ballad called "The Larger Bowl." Something about loneliness and the misfortunes of life, I recall. No such song as far as I know, but I like the title.Neil Peart. . Lawrencetown Beach: Pottersfield Press, 1996).]
In the early 1990s, Peart put words to the title. The song is written in the form of a pantoum.
