it unprophesied or new?

never circle you?

Did you then beastlike live and walk with

ears and eyes that would not turn?

that eternal retinue?

THE ONE

the moaning of the wind,

and eyes were never blind,

Only my eager thoughts I bent on many

things that I desired

and blood I left behind.

THE OTHER

filmèd eyes that could not know,

temporal way that men must go;

You set the image of the world high for

your heart's idolatry,

a toy, a ghost, a passing show.

THE ONE

only what my heart believed.

or self-deceived.
