On A Ray Of Winter Light
3
My comrades drove me crazy
with theodolites, sextants, compass needles
and telescopes that enlarge things—
better if they were kept away.
Where would such routes bring us?
But the day that commenced then
has not gone by yet
with a flame like a rose in the ravine
and with an airy sea at the feet of God.
