The Christian Art

Down to its innermost speck, the un-

Consummated spark is burnt, and the ash

Is fed to the beasts of the wild. You

Understand me as someone who is still

Unfinished, who heralds himself with violets:

But even shame is not so strong as the

First most violent poem of the earth:

Of the olive trees and the two-winged

Vessel of your hands. The night is always,

Always a failure. But I will not tell you why.
