LXVI
Durer's St. Jerome In His Cell
Ordinance is drawn
to make the Soul obey:
But no one stops Today
or owns beyond one's own

so if you ever hear me
Soul, such passing judgments say
mount to your quaint Infinity
and ride it clean away!

Words from the human tongue
make musics as they're told

but they meant nothing when they were so young
& they mean nothing now they are so old.

Pissarro's Village Path
