As long as the earth exists
men are the eternal victims
is there sense in it?
To let son fight the giant
...
High walls, and armed men
Issuing out commands;
Armed men whose heart are either old or cold.
We, like prisoners on white, and
...
While we labour in pain,
Struggling like wounded lion,
Let us think again
The day we were born.
...
I do not need the mirror, it's transparent.
I do not want the mirror to torture me
I look, I see myself and I forget
And that is not what I want,
...
Out of the grave, out of the grove
Comes a girl, pretty like daughter of Jove
And eyes as innocent as a dove.
I wouldn't mind giving you all my love
...
