These
factors (pain and death) are essential factors,
geared to the earth's ellipse
and the motion of the belly.
Enclosed by a void, enclosing an abyss
I by
detesting such essential factors
have set the void to war with the abyss and
tear me harder,
I will not be torn. STILL
AN IMPLACABLE VOICE SHRIEKS IN THE SUN,
THESE INSULTS STRIKE AT THE FACE OF
THE SUN,
OPPOSE THEM! Oh
do not doubt I know my danger.
Movement engenders friction, blood is struck
in the heart,
every awareness implies some sort of collision:
but to fight
pain and death with every weapon
would make war total, leave no hope of peace,
I
will have peace. STILL
AN IMPLACABLE VOICE SHRIEKS IN THE SUN,
THESE INSULTS STRIKE AT THE FACE OF
THE SUN,
OPPOSE THEM! Is
it not right to attempt to be like God?
To gain an equal acceptance of larks
and cancer
and to go gentle into that goodnight?
Yes, total acceptance is
death for something human
but accepted death is seldom troubled by pain
I have been man too long. STILL
AN IMPLACABLE VOICE SHRIEKS IN THE SUN,
THESE INSULTS STRIKE AT THE FACE OF
THE SUN,
OPPOSE THEM! |
