SONG OF A MAN WHO HAS COME THROUGH
NOT I, not I, but the wind that blows through
me!
A fine wind is
blowing the new direction of Time.
If only I let it bear me, carry me, if only it
carry me!
If only
I am sensitive, subtle, oh, delicate, a
winged gift!
If only, most lovely of all,
I yield myself and am borrowed
By the fine, fine wind that takes its course
through
the chaos
of the world
Like
a fine, an exquisite chisel, a wedge-blade inserted;
If only I am keen and hard
like the sheer tip of a wedge
Driven by invisible blows,
The rock will split, we shall
come at the wonder,
we shall find the
Hesperides.
Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my
soul,
I would be a
good fountain, a good well-head,
Would blur no whisper, spoil no
expression.
What is the knocking?
What is the knocking at the door in the
night?
It is
somebody wants to do us harm.
No, no, it is the three strange angels.
Admit them, admit
them.
