Forgetfulness is like a song br That, freed from beat and measure, wanders. br Forgetfulness is like a bird whose wings are reconciled, br Outspread and motionless, -- br A bird that coasts the wind unwearyingly. br br Forgetfulness is rain at night, br Or an old house in a forest, -- or a child. br Forgetfulness is white, -- white as a blasted tree, br And it may stun the sybil into prophecy, br Or bury the Gods. br br I can remember much forgetfulness.
