Thus We Shall Walk

 

Thus we shall walk on the ruins of a vast sky,

The distant landscape will come into fullness

Like a destiny in the vivid light.

 

The long-sought most beautiful country

Will lie out before us --land of the salamanders.

 

Death is in it.

This is the secret lamp burning under our gestures,

Thus we walk lighted.
