each day I push the stone each day I tread the waves each day I carve the marble
but when
when will I see peace βthe long-craved result of all this guiltful carving? when will I breathe feely, free of tons of tons pushing and pulling on me from every side? when will the stone break over the mountain and bring rest?
when will forgetfulness step out from the block and free me from my bonds by saying, "enough tears, I've come to end your suffering"?
