Poems
THEME/S
First Phase
Dumb echo of the Mother-mystery
Beyond the light of birth—
Darkness divine, enveloping weary earth
In vast felicity
With your impartial sense-dissolving hue
And slow cool sacred miracle of dew!
Solemn perfection, stay
Your lofty season, lest the dawn disperse
Too soon this indivisible universe
Of calm and from your star-impregnate womb
Of paradisal gloom
I issue into the heart-searing day!
Second Phase
Foretaste of the death-sombre Destiny
Whose far-eyed grace
Haunts the child-dream of passionate pain
Storming through time to fathom yet again
The wondrous in-world whence life, wailing, strays!
Ineffable power,
Drunk with your lonely dim prophetic mood
My flesh wears like an aureole
The beauty of the unborn hour
When with immeasurable quietude
Eternity
Shall quench the futile wanderlust of my soul!
