you a sign; that you may know i have e back to speak all that is lacking; for god will not suffer himself to be hidden from man; nor his word to lie covered in the abyss of the heart of man。

〃i shall live beyond death; and i shall sing in your ears

even after the vast sea…wave carries me back

to the vast sea…depth。

i shall sit at your board though without a body;

and i shall go with you to your fields; a spirit invisible。

i shall e to you at your fireside; a guest unseen。

death changes nothing but the masks that cover our faces。

the woodsman shall be still a woodsman;

the ploughman; a ploughman;

and he who sang his song to the wind shall sing it also to the moving spheres。〃

and the disciples were as still as stones; and grieved in their heart for that he had said: 〃i go。〃 but no man put out his hand to stay the master; nor did any follow after his footsteps。

and almustafa went out from the garden of his mother; and his feet were swift and they were soundless; and in a moment; like a blown leaf in a strong wind; he was far gone from them; and they saw; as it were; a pale light moving up to the heights。

and the nine walked their ways down the road。 but the woman still stood in the gathering night; and she beheld how the light and the twilight were bee one; and she forted her desolation and her aloneness with his words: 〃i go; but if i go with a truth not yet voiced; that very truth will seek me and gather me; and again shall i e。〃

and now it was eventide。

and he had reached the hills。 his steps had led him to the mist; and he stood among the rocks and the white cypress…trees hidden from all things; and he spoke and said:

〃o mist; my sister; white breath not yet held in a mould;

i return to you; a breath white and voiceless;

a word not yet uttered。

〃o mist; my winged sister mist; we are together now;

and together we shall be till lifes second day;

whose dawn shall lay you; dewdrops in a garden;

and me a babe upon the breast of a woman;

and we shall remember。

〃o mist; my sister; i e back; a heart listening in its depths;

even as your heart;

a desire throbbing and aimless even as your desire;

a thought not yet gathered; even as your thought。

〃o mist; my sister; first…born of my mother;

my hands still hold the green seeds you bade me scatter;

and my lips are sealed upon the song you bade me sing;

and i bring you no fruit; and i bring you no echoes

for my hands were blind; and my lips unyielding。

〃o mist; my sister; much did i love the world; and the world loved me;

for all my smiles were upon her lips; and all her tears were in my eyes。

yet there was between us a gulf of silence which she would not abridge

and i could not overstep。

〃o mist; my sister; my deathless sister mist;

i sang the ancient songs unto my little children;

and they listened; and there was wondering upon their face;

but tomorrow perchance they will forget the song;

and i know not to whom the wind will carry the song。

and though it was not mine own; yet it came to my heart

and dwelt for a moment upon my lips。

〃o mist; my sister; though all this came to pass;

i am at peace。

it was enough to sing to those already born。

and though the singing is indeed not mine;

yet it is of my hearts deepest desire。

〃o mist; my sister; my sister mist;

i am one with you now。

no longer am i a self。

the walls have fallen;

and the chains have broken;

i rise to you; a mist;

and together we shall float upon the sea until lifes second day;

when dawn shall lay you; dewdrops in a garden;

and me a babe upon the breast of a woman。〃
