The winter
moon
becomes a companion, the heart of the priest, sunk in meditation upon religion and philosophy, there in the mountain hall, is engaged in a delicate interplay and exchange with the
moon
; and it is this of which the poet sings.

Seeing the
moon
, he becomes the
moon
, the
moon
seen by him becomes him. He sinks into nature, becomes one with nature. The light of the "clear heart" of the priest, seated in the meditation hall in the darkness before the dawn, becomes for the dawn
moon
its own light.

moon
shone like a blade frozen in blue ice.
