The poet, therefore, is truly the thief of fire.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
I turned silences and nights into words. What was unutterable, I wrote down. I made the whirling world stand still.
I have stretched ropes from steeple to steeple; Garlands from window to window; Golden chains from star to star ... And I dance.
Only divine love bestows the keys of knowledge.
