Cilgwyn, ger Carmel (Caernarfon)Llun gan Richard Jones(Photographer)
I'd buy it if I could and do it up ...
Oh, not to be separated,
shut off from the starry dimensions
by so thin a wall.What is within us
if not intensified sky
traversed with birdsand deep
with winds of homecoming? (Rilke)
An invalid now ...
A prisoner now,
One who drew the hardest lot:
In your own shaft
Laboring bent over,
Excavating yourself,
Digging into yourself,
Without aid,
Stiff,
A corpse —
Overpiled by a hundred burdens,
By your overburdens,
One in the know!
A self-knower!
The wise Zarathustra! ... (from Nietzsche's 'Amid Birds of Prey).
