de aegypto

de aegypto....


i, even i, am he who knows the roads
through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body

i have beheld the lady of life
i, even i, who fly with the swallows

green and grey is her raiment
trailing along the wind

manus animam pinxit
my pen is in my hand

i am the flame that rises in the sun
the moon is upon my forehead
the winds are under my lips

the moon is a great pearl
in the waters of sapphire
cool to my fingers

i am the one who knows the roads
through the sky...
