Ežeras: keturios iliuzijos IV

nakties vidury kylanti saulė atstato pasaulį
kurio tarėmės atsikratę – medžiai, viršūnėmis
nirę į dangų, nė kiek nepakitę
ežeras, buvęs beribis ir rodęsis mums įvairiausias
pavidalais, dabar tik vandens telkinys su aiškias ribas
ginančiais krantais
tamsoj mus aplankę dievai
nimfos, satyrai ir faunai virto vėl vabalais
musėmis, varlėmis ir plaštakėmis
mes, pasirodo, esam vėl žmonės, vėl arba tik
ir meilė, kuri išlaisvina, meilė, kuri pavergia
vienintelis jausmas, temdantis mirtį
