‘æ,' George William Russell Breath Poems

  • 1.
    We must pass like smoke or live within the spirit's fire;
    For we can no more than smoke unto the flame return
    If our thought has changed to dream, our will unto desire,
    As smoke we vanish though the fire may burn.

    Withers once more the old blue flower of day:
    There where the ether like a diamond glows,
    Its petals fade away.

    With their magic flood me through the gateway of the eyes;
    I am one with the twilight's dream.
