In you everything sank!<br /><br />It was the happy hour of assault and the kiss.<br />The hour of the spell that blazed like a lighthouse.<br /><br />Pilot's dread, fury of blind driver,<br />turbulent drunkenness of love, in you everything sank!<br /><br />In the childhood of mist my soul, winged and wounded.<br />Lost discoverer, in you everything sank!<br /><br />You girdled sorrow, you clung to desire,<br />sadness stunned you, in you everything sank!<br /><br />I made the wall of shadow draw back,<br />beyond desire and act, I walked on.<br /><br />Oh flesh, my own flesh, woman whom I loved and lost,<br />I summon you in the moist hour, I raise my song to you.<br /><br />Like a jar you housed infinite tenderness.<br />and the infinite oblivion shattered you like a jar</span></span></span></div>
