On a Theme by Thomas Merton

 "Adam, where are you?"
 God's hands
palpate darkness, the void
that is Adam's inattention,
his confused attention to everything,
impassioned by multiplicity, his despair.

Multiplicity, his despair;
 God's hands
enacting blindness. Like a child
at a barbaric fairgrounds --
noise, lights, the violent odors --
Adam fragments himself. The whirling rides!

Fragmented Adam stares.
 God's hands
unseen, the whirling rides
dazzle, the lights blind him. Fragmented,
he is not present to himself. God
suffers the void that is his absence.

Tis easier to pity those when dead

 'Tis easier to pity those when dead
That which pity previous
Would have saved --
A Tragedy enacted
Secures Applause
That Tragedy enacting
Too seldom does.

Let Me Enjoy

 Minor Key


I 

Let me enjoy the earth no less 
Because the all-enacting Might 
That fashioned forth its loveliness 
Had other aims than my delight. 

II 

About my path there flits a Fair, 
Who throws me not a word or sign; 
I'll charm me with her ignoring air, 
And laud the lips not meant for mine. 

III 

From manuscripts of moving song 
Inspired by scenes and dreams unknown 
I'll pour out raptures that belong 
To others, as they were my own. 

IV 

And some day hence, towards Paradise 
And all its blest -- if such should be -- 
I will lift glad, afar-off eyes 
Though it contain no place for me.
