How the false truths of the years of youth have passed!
Have passed at full speed like trains which never stopped
There where I stood and waited, hardly aware,
How little I knew, or which of them was the one
To mount and ride to hope or where true hope arrives.


"I am a Book I neither Wrote nor Read" - Selected Poems: Summer Knowledge (1959)
