Oh this world and oh this dear worldbody see how it has become become become how it has flowered and how it has put on gaudy appearances how it is a plum in its ripening a rose in its reddening a berry in its glittering a finch in its throbbing a cowry in its extraordinary allusiveness a night of midsummer in its fragrance a tide in its deepsurging and a dark woodland spring in its concealing sources see how it is velvety how its innerness clings and presses how nearly it repulses how it then takes and cherishes how it is austere how it is free how it reviles abuses and how it is here and how it was always here.
