"Aspen tree, your leaves glance white into the dark."
"We stand by the window embracing, and people look up from the street: it is time they knew! It is time the stone made an effort to flower, time unrest had a beating heart. It is time it were time.It is time."
"A little stallion gallops across the leafing fingers- Black the gate leaps open, I sing; How did we live here?"
"You opened your eyes -I saw my darkness live. I see through it down to the bed; there too it is mine and lives."
