Light On Dark Water

This is where man's greatness lies; only the mind can do that: to perceive the separation between what he is, what he does, what he gives himself, and what he wants, what he can hope for. Even in the lower courtyard I can look beyond the gate; I can hear a call (perhaps I cannot follow it, but at least I can hear it)….It must be said that if this is our grandeur, it is also our misery: because we are capable of making ourselves, little by little, deaf to such calls.
