I	A
	-
And so I cross into another world	B
shyly and in homage linger for an invitation	C
from this unknown that I would trespass on	D
	-
I am very glad and all alone in the world	B
all alone and very glad in a new world	B
where I am disembarked at last	E
	-
I could cry with joy because I am in the new world just ventured in	F
I could cry with joy and quite freely there is nobody to know	G
	-
And whosoever the unknown people of this un known world may be	H
they will never understand my weeping for joy to be adventuring among them	I
because it will still be a gesture of the old world I am making	J
which they will not understand because it is quite quite foreign to them	I
	-
II	A
	-
I WAS so weary of the world	B
I was so sick of it	K
everything was tainted with myself	L
skies trees flowers birds water	M
people houses streets vehicles machines	N
nations armies war peace talking	J
work recreation governing anarchy	H
it was all tainted with myself I knew it all to start with	O
because it was all myself	L
	-
When I gathered flowers I knew it was myself plucking my own flowering	J
When I went in a train I knew it was myself travelling by my own invention	C
When I heard the cannon of the war I listened with my own ears to my own destruction	C
When I saw the torn dead I knew it was my own torn dead body	H
It was all me I had done it all in my own flesh	P
	-
III	A
	-
I SHALL never forget the maniacal horror of it all in the end	Q
when everything was me I knew it all already I anticipated it all in my soul	R
because I was the author and the result	S
I was the God and the creation at once	T
creator I looked at my creation	C
created I looked at myself the creator	M
it was a maniacal horror in the end	Q
	-
I was a lover I kissed the woman I loved	U
and God of horror I was kissing also myself	L
I was a father and a begetter of children	C
and oh oh horror I was begetting and conceiving in my own body	H
	-
IV	L
	-
AT last came death sufficiency of death	V
and that at last relieved me I died	W
I buried my beloved it was good I buried myself and was gone	X
War came and every hand raised to murder	M
very good very good every hand raised to murder	M
Very good very good I am a murderer	M
It is good I can murder and murder and see them fall	Y
the mutilated horror struck youths a multitude	Z
one on another and then in clusters together	M
smashed all oozing with blood and burned in heaps	A2
going up in a foetid smoke to get rid of them	I
the murdered bodies of youths and men in heaps	A2
and heaps and heaps and horrible reeking heaps	A2
till it is almost enough till I am reduced perhaps	B2
thousands and thousands of gaping hideous foul dead	C2
that are youths and men and me	H
being burned with oil and consumed in corrupt thick smoke that rolls	D2
and taints and blackens the sky till at last it is dark dark as night or death or hell	E2
and I am dead and trodden to nought in the smoke sodden tomb	F2
dead and trodden to nought in the sour black earth	G2
of the tomb dead and trodden to nought trodden to nought	C2
	-
V	H
	-
GOD but it is good to have died and been trodden out	C2
trodden to nought in sour dead earth	G2
quite to nought	C2
absolutely to nothing	J
nothing	J
nothing	J
nothing	J
	-
For when it is quite quite nothing then it is everything	J
When I am trodden quite out quite quite out	C2
every vestige gone then I am here	H2
risen and setting my foot on another world	C2
risen accomplishing a resurrection	C
risen not born again but risen body the same as before	I2
new beyond knowledge of newness alive beyond life	L
proud beyond inkling or furthest conception of pride	C2
living where life was never yet dreamed of nor hinted at	C2
here in the other world still terrestrial	J2
myself the same as before yet unaccountably new	K2
	-
VI	L
	-
I IN the sour black tomb trodden to absolute death	V
I put out my hand in the night one night and my hand	C2
touched that which was verily not me	H
verily it was not me	H
Where I had been was a sudden blaze	L2
a sudden flaring blaze	L2
So I put my hand out further a little further	M
and I felt that which was not I	L
it verily was not I	L
it was the unknown	M2
	-
Ha I was a blaze leaping up	N2
I was a tiger bursting into sunlight	C2
I was greedy I was mad for the unknown	M2
I new risen resurrected starved from the tomb	F2
starved from a life of devouring always myself	L
now here was I new awakened with my hand stretching out	C2
and touching the unknown the real unknown the unknown unknown	M2
	-
My God but I can only say	O2
I touch I feel the unknown	M2
I am the first comer	M
Cortes Pisarro Columbus Cabot they are noth	P2
ing nothing	J
I am the first comer	M
I am the discoverer	M
I have found the other world	C2
	-
The unknown the unknown	M2
I am thrown upon the shore	M
I am covering myself with the sand	C2
I am filling my mouth with the earth	G2
I am burrowing my body into the soil	Q2
The unknown the new world	C2
	-
VII	L
	-
IT was the flank of my wife	L
I touched with my hand I clutched with my hand	C2
rising new awakened from the tomb	F2
It was the flank of my wife	L
whom I married years ago	G
at whose side I have lain for over a thousand nights	R2
and all that previous while she was I she was I	L
I touched her it was I who touched and I who was touched	C2
	-
Yet rising from the tomb from the black oblivion	C
stretching out my hand my hand flung like a drowned man's hand on a rock	S2
I touched her flank and knew I was carried by the current in death	V
over to the new world and was climbing out on the shore	M
risen not to the old world the old changeless I the old life	L
wakened not to the old knowledge	T2
but to a new earth a new I a new knowledge a new world of time	U2
	-
Ah no I cannot tell you what it is the new world	C2
I cannot tell you the mad astounded rapture of its discovery	M
I shall be mad with delight before I have done	C
and whosoever comes after will find me in the new world	C2
a madman in rapture	M
	-
VIII	L
	-
GREEN streams that flow from the innermost continent of the new world	C2
what are they	O2
Green and illumined and travelling for ever	M
dissolved with the mystery of the innermost heart of the continent	C2
mystery beyond knowledge or endurance so sumptuous	V2
out of the well heads of the new world	C2
The other she too has strange green eyes	W2
White sands and fruits unknown and perfumes that never	M
can blow across the dark seas to our usual world	C2
And land that beats with a pulse	X2
And valleys that draw close in love	L
And strange ways where I fall into oblivion of uttermost living	J
Also she who is the other has strange mounded breasts and strange sheer slopes and white levels	Y2
	-
Sightless and strong oblivion in utter life takes possession of me	M
The unknown strong current of life supreme	Z2
drowns me and sweeps me away and holds me down	A3
to the sources of mystery in the depths	B3
extinguishes there my risen resurrected life	L
and kindles it further at the core of utter mystery	M
