And advance hotly on a new quest

And become known as the champion of a new spirit; 90

And be to people of insight as the pupil to the eye,

And sink into the ear of the world, like a voice;

And exalt the worth of Poesy

And sprinkle the dry herbs with my tears.

Inspired by the genius of the Master of Rúm,[26] 95

I rehearse the sealed book of secret lore.

His soul is the source of the flames,

I am but as the spark that gleams for a moment.
