BEAUTY'S NOMADS, by             Poem Explanation         Poet's Biography
First Line: Wide acres you inherit
Last Line: The steppe will bud for you!


WIDE acres you inherit,
And graveyards populous;
A tameless nomad spirit
Is Beauty's fate for us.

For us a daily treason,
New camp-grounds every day.
The inexorable prison
We cheat, and break away.

Trust in each shrouded story,
Each far-off marvel's prize,
The springtime's emerald glory,
The length and breadth of skies.

Artists, with dreams for horses,
Pasture them all around!
Escape! Sow with new forces,
Then fly the fallow ground.

Hurl from your flooding numbers
Your hordes in hurricanes
Where the low valley slumbers
And slaves are proud of chains.

Trample their paradises,
Attila! Waste anew!
And where your bright star rises,
The steppe will bud for you!
