I live my life in growing orbits
which move out...<br />.<br /><br />I live my life in growing orbits<br />which move out over the things of the world.<br />Perhaps I can never achieve the last,<br />but that will be my attempt.<br /><br />I am circling around God, around the ancient tower,<br />and I have been circling for a thousand years,<br />and I still don’t know if I am a falcon, or a storm,<br />or a great song.<br /><br /><br />I live my life in growing orbits / The book of Hours / trslt. Robert Bly <br /><br /><br />.<br /><br />Tree arising! O pure ascendance! Orpheus Sings! Towering tree within the ear! Everywhere stillness, yet in this abeyance: seeds of change and new beginnings near. Creatures of silence emerged from the clear unfettered forest, from dens, from lairs. Not from shyness, this silence of theirs; nor from any hint of fear, simply from listening. Brutal shriek and roar dwindled in their hearts. Where stood a mere hut to house the passions of the ear, constructed of longing darkly drear, haphazardly wrought from front to rear, you built them a temple at listening's core.<br /><br /><br />1 /The Sonnets to Orpheus / trsl. Robert Hunter <br /><br /><br />. <br /><br />My eyes already touch the sunny hill,<br />going far ahead of the road I have begun.<br />So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;<br />it has its inner light, even from a distance—<br /><br />and changes us, even if we do not reach it,<br />into something else, which, hardly sensing it, we already are;<br />a gesture waves us on, answering our own wave…<br />but what we feel is the wind in our faces.<br /><br /><br />A Walk /trslt. Robert Bly <br />Rainer Maria Rilke<br />.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
