Something to bring back to show
you have been there: a lock of God's
hair, stolen from him while he was
asleep; a photograph of the garden
of the spirit. As has been said,
the point of travelling is not
to arrive, but to return home
laden with pollen you shall work up into the honey the mind feeds on.

There is always the thin pane of glass set up between us
And our desires.
We stare and state and stare, until the night comes
And the glass is superfluous.

from The Minister, 1953
