Stray Birds(50-56)

50. The mind, sharp but not broad, sticks at every point but does not move.

51. You idol is shattered in the dust to prove that God's dust is greater than your idol.

52. Man does not reveal himself in his history, he struggles up through it.

53. While the glass lamp rebukes the earthen for calling it cousin the moon rises, and the glass lamp, with a bland smile, calls her, "---My dear, dear sister. "

54. Like the meeting of the seagulls and the waves we meet and come near. The seagulls fly off, the waves roll away and we depart.

55. My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

56. Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
