116 The earth hums to me to-day in the sun, like a woman at her spinng, some ballad of the ancient time in a forgotten tongue. 117 The grass-blade is worth of the great world where it grows. 118 Dream is a wife who must talk. Sleep is a husband who silently suffers. 119 The night kisses the fading day whispering to his ear, "I am death, your mother. I am to give you fresh birth." 120 I feel, thy beauty, dark night, like that of the loved woman when she has put out the lamp. 121 I carry in my world that flourishes the worlds that have failed. 122 Dear friend, I feel the silence of your great thoughts of may a deepening eventide on this beach when I listen to these waves. 123 The bird thinks it is an act of kindness to give the fish a lift in the air. |
