IN THE WHEAT, by PAUL FORT

Last Line: And I and the wheat no more than a soft, sweet breathing!
Subject(s): Wheat
First Line: I hear an unseen child breathing in the wheat
Last Line: And I and the wheat no more than a soft, sweet breathing!
Subject(s): Wheat
I hear an unseen child breathing in the wheat. I hearken, and it is the rapture
of the universe and of my soul.
Over the sea of the wheat the far-spreading sky, and unto the zenith the blue
sky is one sound.
I see no more. Where am I? Did I once live? Is love my dream?
What I have dreamed of the universe, what I have thought, what I have suffered,
is no more, Oh, is no more than a soft breathing.
And I and the wheat no more than a soft, sweet breathing!
