Then when the flame forked like a sudden path
I gasped and stumbled, and was less.
Density pulsing upward, gauze of ash,
Dear light along the way to nothingness,
What could be made of you but light, and this?

Densità pulsante verso l'alto, velo di cenere, Cara luce lungo la strada del nulla, Di cosa potresti essere fatto tu, se non di luce, e questo?
