Myths
|
The darting of blue dragon-flies over the lily pool, their beauty, their ardour, their lyrical ecstasy melting into union in the air, eternally they pulsate, eternally desire; their desire is their dream, their dream is their desire. They hold for a day their eternal illusion. This is their myth. |
Behold ! We have made myth in the manner of ourselves.
Myth is our own making :
We made Thought and with it Space and Time,
All that we cannot prove in our own image sublime,
All the mockery of our own fallacy,
The light the darkness we alone did make,
As dragon-flies darting over the face of the lake,
So we too move upon the face of the waters
When our love is infinity.
And the Creator, He
Existed in us only for one second
And that second was Eternity.
