SAPIR 861
Thus had I sunken one day From mine own truth-insanity, From mine own fervid day-longings, Of day aweary, sick of sunshine, --Sunk downwards, evenwards, shadowwards: By one sole trueness All scorched and thirsty: --Bethinkst thou still, bethinkst thou, burning heart, How then thou thirstedest?-- THAT I SHOULD BANNED BE FROM ALL THE TRUENESS! MERE FOOL! MERE POET!
