And spent with

And oft they thought him sinking,
But still again he rose.

Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering

Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.

You rise the water unfolds
I only wish to love you
The world is blue as an orange
We have created the night I hold your hand I watch
Even when we sleep we watch over each other
Donkey or cow, cockerel or horse
I looked in front of me
If I speak it's to hear you more clearly
We two take each other by the hand
At dawn I love you I've the whole night in my veins
She looks into me
A single smile disputes

To guard the pure and stainless liver;

To store his quiver,

Or Caucasus, forlorn and horrent,
Or lands where far
Hydaspes
