Elucidations of a Primal Being

CANTOS I (Tract I)


The woods were stirring,and the stars twinkling,
   the wind whispering a thousand new breezes;
....if a sound came, it came with smiles -----
   and if it spoke it would call me friend....
   and I would call it mother, or brother
   or sister,
   or God?

Dare I say 'God' for such a simple thing? ----
   But what I feel is as real as any science....
   something behind the green curtain;

.... Something, under the speck of flower shoots,
   that bloom as ornate as any chic-portrait
   or seem to thrust higher than man's great
   skyscrapers, speckled anew each spring,
   for mine eyes,
   and yours
   and the world's

Dare I say 'God?'

                       (Who Reveals)
