Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
And from the latter:
Blessed sister, holy mother, spirit of the fountain,
Spirit of the garden,
Suffer us not to mock ourselves with falsehood
Teach us to care and not to care
Teach us to sit still.
Brilliant, if somewhat obscure, poetry from a 20th century master.
