So trembling with delight and mother-naked,

Live unabashed if the arguing world stood by.

Wise Man

It is as hard for you to understand

Why we have doubted, as it is for us

To banish doubt—what folly have I said?

There can be nothing that you do not know:

Give me a year—a month—a week—a day,

I would undo what I have done—an hour—

Give me until the sand has run in the glass.
