but whoever says so will deprive me,
for it is infinite.
The ripple of water, the shade of the sky
are mine; it is still the same, my life.
No desire opens me: I am full,
I never close myself with refusal --
in the rhythm of my daily soul
I do not desire -- I am moved.
By being moved I exert my empire,
making the dreams of night real:
into my body at the bottom of the water
I attract the beyonds of mirrors..."
-- Rainer Maria Rilke
