The near stillness recalls what is forgotten, extinct angels.
I drank the silence of God from a spring in the woods.
For whoever is lonely there is a tavern.
When we are thirsty, we drink the white waters of the pool, the sweetness of our mournful childhood.
Black frost. The ground is hard, the air tastes bitter. Your stars cluster in evil signs.
