I can endure <br> the miseries and sorrows, I can act <br> when there is call to act, and I can see<br>into the dark corners <br> where the spiders age their poisons without malice, <br> and I can be a tree in the morning <br>just before moonset, and hear in every bird <br> the lonely bell of blood that rings like time <br> advancing the night with departure; <br>and feel the incredible onceness of being alive, <br> the igneous beauty of the black virgin <br> buried in the wound of my own mortality, <br>and the terrible longing that arises and wants her forever<br> knowing she’s unattainable and yet prefers this folly <br> over every other delirium of desire, <br>certain only of my own demise in the attempt<br> and the fanatical universe that decrees it <br> as if it were heresy to try, <br>but never, never in those depths <br> have I ever understood so much <br> as a hair on her head, not even <br>an eyelash of insight to show for all my agony, not<br> a word from her lips <br> for all that I have sung and seen of her, <br>that wasn’t a falling rose-petal, a kiss upon the skull<br> that gapes at her feet <br> like the cold stone <br>of a full October moon rising over<br> the lean fields, the empty silos<br> of my devoted desolation like a crown.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+White">Patrick White</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=476777" data-title="Mystic Regency de Patrick White" data-description="Blue hole in a swarm of afflicted emotion, I cannibalize my own event horizons, to turn off the glare of the lifelight that boils my brain in delusional bleaches that present themselves as the truth.
