“You darkness, that I come from,
I love you more than all the fires
that fence in the world,
for the fire makes
a circle of light for everyone,
and then no one outside learns of you.

how easily it gathers them! -
powers and people -
and it is possible a great energy
is moving near me.
I have faith in nights.”
