O You! – who are Love’s profile,
Whose name is Fulfillment;
The one – that in Art they call Style,
For it infuses song, chisels stone . . .
O! You – who through the ages bear the name: Era,
Even in times that aren’t history’s zenith,
You are named both: Spiritus et Littera,
And consummatum est . . .
O! You – Consummate-completion,
Whatever is Your sign . . . and where?
Be it in Phidias? in David? or Chopin?
Or in an Aeschylus scene? . . .
Always – you’ll be revenged by: NOT ENOUGH . . .!
– Privation is this globe’s stigma:
Fulfillment? . . . pains it! . . .
It – prefers ever to begin
Prefers always to pay – a deposit!
– An ear of wheat? . . . when ripe – a golden comet –
When barely moved by the breeze,
It sprays the rain of its wheaten seeds –
Its own perfection scatters it . . .
