03/19/17 - Prologue of the Unborn
-
-
Into my loneliness comes —
-
The sound of a flute in dim groves that haunt the uttermost hills.
-
Even from the brave river they reach to the edge of the wilderness.
-
And I behold Pan.
-
The snows are eternal above, above —
-
And their perfume smokes upward into the nostrils of the stars.
-
But what have I to do with these?
-
To me only the distant flute, the abiding vision of Pan.
-
On all sides Pan to the eye, to the ear;
-
The perfume of Pan pervading, the taste of him utterly filling my mouth, so that the tongue breaks forth into a weird and monstrous speech.
-
The embrace of him intense on every centre of pain and pleasure.
-
The sixth interior sense aflame with the inmost self of Him,
-
Myself flung down the precipice of being
-
Even to the abyss, annihilation.
-
An end to loneliness, as to all.
-
Pan! Pan! Io Pan! Io Pan!
