2 Among Friends: An Epilogue

1

Fine, with one another silent,

Finer, with one another laughing –

Under heaven’s silky cloth

Leaning over books and moss

With friends lightly, loudly laughing

Each one showing white teeth shining.

If I did well, let us be silent,

If I did badly, let us laugh

And do it bad again by half,

More badly done, more badly laugh,

Until the grave, when down we climb.

Friends! Well! What do you say?

Amen! Until we meet again!

2

Don’t excuse it! Don’t forgive!

You happy, heart-free people, give

This unreasonable book of mine

Ear and heart and sheltering!

Truly, friends, my own unreason

Did not grow to earn a curse!

What I find, what I am seeking –

Was that ever in a book?

Honor one from the fools’ legion!

Learn from out of this fool’s book

How reason can be brought – ‘to reason’!

So then, friends, what do you say?

Amen! Until we meet again.
