| From Contemporania WILL people accept them? | |
(i. e. these songs). | |
As a timorous wench from a centaur | |
(or a centurian), | |
Already they flee, howling in terror. | 5 |
Will they be touched with the truth? | |
Their virgin stupidity is untemptable. | |
I beg you, my friendly critics, | |
Do not set about to procure me an audience. | |
|
I mate with my free kind upon the crags; | 10 |
the hidden recesses | |
Have heard the echo of my heels. | |
in the cool light, | |
in the darkness. | | | |
