Yet now I think I have finished the tale of my inferno. And inferno it was:
the old one, whose gates the Son of Man flung open.
From the same desert, on the same night, my eyes still awake to the silvery

untroubled. When shall we go beyond shores and mountains, to greet the birth of

of superstition, and worship -the very first! -Noel on earth.
The song of the skies, the march of peoples! Slaves, let us not curse life.
