Parading

Down Sally Cow Lane and Elsewhere

Center, how you from all things living

extract yourself, even from those that fly win
extract yourself, even from those that fly win
extract yourself, even from those that fly win
yourself back, center, you strongest one.
yourself back, center, you strongest one.
Someone standing: as a drink through thirst
Someone standing: as a drink through thirst

gravity plunges through him.
But from one asleep there falls,
But from one asleep there falls,
as from a cloud suspended,
as from a cloud suspended,
gravity's ample rain. —Rainer Maria Rilke, translated by Edward Snow
