Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,

By oft predict that I in heaven find:
But from thine eyes my knowledge I derive,
And constant stars in them I read such art
As 'Truth and beauty shall together thrive,
If from thyself, to store thou wouldst convert';

One to his — , the other to his player.

You burden the trees
with black drops,
you swirl and crash--
you have broken off a
weighted
leaf
in the wind,
it is hurled out,

Elsewhere they hurried on a chariot for
Mars with flying wheels, wherewith he stirs up men and cities; and
burnished the golden serpent-scales of the awful aegis, the armour of
wrathful Pallas, and the
entwined
snakes on the breast of the goddess,
the Gorgon head with severed neck and rolling eyes.

Till human voices wake us, and we drown.

Certitude
If I speak it's to hear you more clearly
If I hear you I'm sure to understand you
If you smile it's the better to enter me
If you smile I will see the world entire
If I embrace you it's to widen myself
If we live everything will turn to joy
If I leave you we'll
remember
each other
In leaving you we'll find each other again.
