I often wonder where lie hidden
the boundaries of recognition between
man and the beast whose heart knows
no spoken language.
Through what primal paradise in a
remote morning of creation ran the
simple path by which their hearts
visited each other.
Those marks of their constant tread
have not been effaced though their
kinship has been long forgotten.
Yet suddenly in some wordless
music the dim memory wakes up
and the beast gazes into the man's
face with a tender trust, and the
man looks down into its eyes with
amused affection.
It seems that the two friends meet
masked, and vaguely know each other
through the disguise.
I often wonder where lie hidden the boundaries of recognition between man and the beast whose heart knows no spoken language..................a beautiful poem!
Without any language man and beast, say for example a dog, develop deep intimacy. So is not vocal language and intelligence not so vital for trust and love?
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem
