The night's silence, like a deep lamp, is burning with the light
of its milky way. 252 Around the sunny island of Life swells day and night death's limitless song of the sea. 253 Is not this mountain like a flower, with its petals of hills, drinking the sunlight? 254 The real with its meaning read wrong and emphasis misplaced is the unreal. 255 Find your beauty, my heart, from the world's movement, like the boat that has the grace of the wind and the water. 256 The eyes are not proud of their sight but of their eyeglasses. 257 I live in this little world of mine and am afraid to make it the least less. Lift me into thy world and let me have the freedom gladly to lose my all. 258 The false can never grow into truth by growing in power. |
