I go where I love and where I am loved,into the snow;I go to the things I lovewith no thought of duty or pity;I go where I belong, inexorably,as the rain that has lain longin the furrow; I have givenor would have givenlife to the grain;but if it will not grow or ripenwith the rain of beauty,the rain will return to the cloud;the harvester sharpens his steel on the stone;but this is not our field,we have not sown this;pitiless, pitiless, let us leaveThe-place-of-a-skullto those who have fashioned it.
