The question

A faint glimpse of what cannot be grasped

puts me over the edge and into the abyss.

Desire is the drive, but comprehension is the end of

the battle that’s impossible to win;

for the double-edged sword draws blood no matter

how it is swung.

Blessed is the man with his eyes wide shut;

****** is the man who couldn’t help but look.
