THE VOICE
ATOMS as old as stars,Mutation on mutation,Millions and millions of cellsDividing yet still the same,From air and changing earth,From ancient Eastern rivers,From turquoise tropic seas,Unto myself I came.
My spirit like my fleshSprang from a thousand sources,From cave-man, hunter and shepherd,From Karnak, Cyprus, Rome;The living thoughts in meSpring from dead men and women,
descriptionPage 26
Forgotten time out of mindAnd many as bubbles of foam.
Here for a moment's spaceInto the light out of darkness,I come and they come with meFinding words with my breath;From the wisdom of many life-timesI hear them cry: "ForeverSeek for Beauty, she onlyFights with man against Death!"
