I must, before I die,

find some way to say

the essential thing that is in me,

that I have never said yet

- a thing that is not love or hate

or pity or scorn,

but the very breath of life,

fierce and coming from far away,

bringing into human life the vastness

and the fearful passionless force

of non-human things.

Your eyes see only what your mind is prepared to comprehend
