I know you are so very hungry; I know you are so very thirsty; you think you are my fantasy (you believe you are a dream); but I know better: I know you begin just under my heart, and stretch your legs as far as I can stretch my legs, and wave your arms as far as I can wave my arms. You are the soul whose nature is twin to my soul's nature (and we are made of twin nature). There is no account reason can give of you (you are beyond rational explication). My nature is your nature: and your deities weep and weep, so you offer them balm and solace.
