giving
he wanted to give as much as he received
in equal measure as he received all that is
and all was what he wanted to give to it_
all from the flower and from the bee
from the light and the green shade
from her arms and their joined hands_
but he could not give to what was already there;
it was superflous and redundant
repetitions emptied of feelings;
so there was to give something that was his only
something in which he could be found and received_
but he had nothing of such kind
for all that he was was only in all that he received
and it is with it all that he is anything of himself
not to be divisible to be looked at in a gift,
a he suspended for when he finds too late
how he missed to make himself to be received.
