Arthur Symons - Indian MeditationArthur Symons - Indian Meditation
Work rating: Low


Where shall this self at last find happiness? O Soul, only in nothingness. Does not the Earth suffice to its own needs? And what am I but one of the Earth`s weeds? All things have been and all things shall go on Before me and when I am gone; This self that cries out for eternity Is what shall pass in me: The tree remains, the leaf falls from the tree. I would be as the leaf, I would be lost In the identity and death of frost. Rather than draw the sap of the tree`s strength And for the tree`s sake be cast off at length. To be is homage unto being: cease To be, and be at peace, If it be peace for self to have forgot Even that it is not.
