the tower in which you live is free from sorrow



we owe only the truth

wrought at great risks

as fits the lackey of the Gods

who looks inside, awakes

Our reflection trembled

Every hundred feet the world changes

When the past no longer illuminates the future

Generations do not cease

we soon shall see their proper figures

the prisons I know are subtle ones

sublimity is supreme

married to the ground

to meet in better dreams

limit your always and your nevers

how much the heart can hold

die of nothing but a rage to live

into a golden consciousness

the means to correct it misperceptions

to feel much for others

it is not the mountain we conquer

as a wave is continuous with the ocean

an inclination to spread

time's sublimest target

nature is a friend to truth

unmoved by the wind of joy

know you can break down prejudice

it is a tiger that devours me, but i am the tiger

a crown that seldom kings enjoy

unending infalibility

to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment

have I not seen two tyrants thrown?

Only in chaos are we conceivable

tremble? I am far from that


continuing change, inevitable change

good friends deserve good friends

they will never be coming back

things that have never been

reassembled into visions

do it simply, and you end up with a shape

to take a step without feet

see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates

clamorous to be led to safety


then you will understand everything better

you cannot rush into the light

blessed are the hearts that can bend

once you get to know them

for the most banal to become the adventure

rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn

to find the beauty, we must carry it with us

unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature

a partial confession of character

between two opposites that never meet

the low, vast murmur or life

an obligation to intervene

never answer comprehensible words

emergence by emergency

care and diligence

the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake

you are young and young your rule



for sighting and gentle whispering


the habit of cautious and reasoned argument

there is another sky and another sunshine
