124 "In the moon thou sendest thy love letters to me," said the night to the sun. "I leave my answers in tears upon the grass." 125 The Great is a born child; when he dies he gives his great childhood to the world. 126 Not hammerstrokes, but dance of the water sings the pebbles into perfection. 127 Bees sip honey from flowers and hum their thanks when they leave. The gaudy butterfly is sure that the flowers owe thanks to him. 128 To be outspoken is easy when you do not wait to speak the complete truth. 129 Asks the Possible to the Impossible, "Where is your dwelling place?" "In the dreams of the impotent," comes the answer. 130 |
