recognize me, night,
I feel, I count,
but not as greedy as a false blind
or as someone who never knows who is shipwrecked and who lay.
I have chosen to grope for statue of your allegories,
only by custom to plunge the world where you just lose your head
and in every cloud and every step the ground beneath your feet.
And does your stepdaughter was not always preferred
that coming on without hesitation into the trap concocted by your hand,
the bites the poison apple or mirror copy of your beauty traitor?
forgot to tie the mast of the house when you were spending
to keep me out every time after your flute Thief delighted children,
and was at the expense of the day I mistook in your bag and the white snow, wolves and shadows.
now too late to go back and correct the hours under the sun.
Now I have checked with your alphabet black.
belong to the tribe of staying in radiant darkness
of which look better with closed eyes and lie down on the side and rear of Abyss and never return flight
when Tom throws open the doors of the apparent noon . You
covers your Thebaid in the unseen. You not give evidence. Your event, secret, numberless, without asking,
as turned inward contemplation,
where each signal is the trembling of a bird in a huge room and every rise
a leap into the void from bleachers and absences. You watch me Tdesde
everywhere
curtains drew back, piercing the walls bales of darkness peering;
find me and me with the look of the hunter and the control, while
discover in the middle of your high weeds the splendor of a lost city,
or look in vain for traces of the future in your crossroads.
You are going who knows where, following the variations of temptation unattainable ends
trying on the faces of horror, of extreme beauty,
the impossible distance from others, touch from hell,
visions that crowd as far as you reach the darkness that I have, as far
death start to roll down with carriages, with stones and dogs.
But I'm not asking you or veils parted exhumed lamps.
Do not claim a lesson in light
how not claim to water by the flame or waking from sleep.
Or would rely less on you than on the hard, suspicious stars?
We have seen many insoluble mysteries with its white glare, even in bright sunlight!
Just take me by the hand and through a forest carpeted
night, creeping night,
learn what I mean, what the wind whispers,
and could finally read to the bottom of my little great night in your pupil.
