Whether we come, in last imaginings,
To our earliest unremembered dream,
Or at the end it's still discovery,
Always the conquest of a a final shore,
He will be waiting for me there,
As ever second-sighted and first there:
I groping my way in radiant day,
He cleaving midnight quick as flame;
From The Companion by Daniel Hoffman
Is he speaking of death here or the stark reality of awareness?
ReplyDeletehmmm.... both maybe or a life that meets the other part of life. Like a second self...
