Alexander Search – Doubt

[BNP/E3, 78 – 40]

 

Delirium.

 

Doubt.

 

Tell me, tell me who dreams most -

He who sees the world aright

Or the man in dreaming lost?

 

What is true? What is't that seems -

The lie that's in reality

Or the lie that is in dreams?

 

Who is unto truth less near -

He who sees all truth a shadow

Or he who sees dreams all clear?

 

He who is a good guest, or his

Who feels alien at the feast?

 

Alexander Search.

 

June 19th 1907.
