You abyss of light

O Sky above me! O pure deep sky!

You abyss of light!

Gazing into you, I tremble with divine desires!

The Other

Lately I looked into your eye, O Life!

And I seemed to sink into the unfathomable.

Postcards from the abyss

It is not the height, it is the abyss that is terrible!

The abyss where the glance plunges downward

and the hand grasps upward. There the heart 

grows giddy through its two-fold will.
