The human beasts glide along, completely lost
As though on a street, miserably gray and shrill. Workers stream from dilapidated gates. A weary person moves quietly in a round tower. A hearse crawls along the street, two steeds out front, Soft as a worm and weak. And over all lies an old rag-- The sky... pagan and meaningless. Into the Evening Out of crooked clouds priceless things grow. Very tiny things suddenly become important. The sky is green and opaque Down there where the blind hills glide. Tattered trees stagger into the distance. Drunken meadows spin in a circle, And all the surfaces become gray and wise... Only villages crouch glowingly: red stars-- Interior A large space--half dark... deadly... completely confused... Provocative!... delicate... dream-like... recesses, heavy doors |
