The depths
The Depths !… Oh ! the Depths !
I have sunk, and sunk… I have sunk !
deep in matter, so deep
that all forms had gone, died,
suffocated…
oh ! so deep, I have sunk…
Who ever had gone so deep,
deep, into the bottomless void
of Matter !
The bottom…
I have touched the bottom.
I have touched and drunk, and drunk, and drunk !
I have quaffed all ;
all filth, all blood, all spasms.
I have killed, I have sucked the living
into the foul, into the dead.
Oh ! I have sunk,
and sunk…
But you remained always, O my soul !…
an God knows more,
now !
(Painting: Dane Rudhyar “Third Pentagram”, 1926)
