I cling to this living raft, my body, in the narrow stream of my earthly years.
 
I leave it when the crossing is over. And then?
 
I do not know if the light there and the darkness are the same.
 
The Unknown is the perpetual freedom:
 
He is pitiless in his love.
 
He crushes the shell for the pearl, dumb in ............
