160 The raindrops kissed the earth and whispered,--"We are thy homesick children, mother, come back to thee from the heaven." 161 The cobweb pretends to catch dew-drops and catches flies. 162 Love! when you come with the burning lamp of pain in your hand, I can see your face and know you as bliss. 163 "The learned say that your lights will one day be no more." said the firefly to the stars. The stars made no answer. 164 In the dusk of the evening the bird of some early dawn comes to the nest of my silence. 165 Thoughts pass in my mind like flocks of ducks in the sky. I hear the voice of their wings. 166 The canal loves to think that rivers exist solely to supply it with water. |
