Crisis

      I desire to cast desire away,
      Having all that blamed respect
      Due my old age, hurled burning away
      Until I into the naked grass have crept.
5     I recall how some sage hermit spoke,
      Under his mountain drift lodged alone,
      Of how all changing waters must
      Whirl up to the stone.
      But I am wrecked by discourse
10    Of the sacred and profane;
      All love draws back to its source,
      Dry enmities remain.
