To feel words live and have a soul

|To know the phrase in what makes it a phrase, it is a body.|

Ours is the simple light that † seven,

The |*awareness| we know not

Without acting feeling as actor strange

This without thinking,

Without thinking, a thinker of phrased thoughts

Upon his sense of it

[52v]

To have thoughts’ mirror e’en by feelings faces,

The shadow-word even feeling substance-thoughts

To ache the heart to words and |know| the places[2]

Of soul where expression’s put may rot.

To living infinity to |phrase|[3] and sense.

Subtilize line[4] into lines of phrase,

To have †[5] spy by {…} hearse 

The dead man’s candles mystery-trinity rags.

Where expression’s fine foot may be[6].

These are not casual things, not the sense gleams

In a † lone {…}

If dreams were words, then were dreams,

_______

So know the transiency of words as words,

The {…} of change, a shadowy sameness

{…} lameness

______________________________________________________

The instinct of the newer to be right

With his prayers’ unconscious perfectness[7]

{…} of the {…} not to slight

|With the excess of his living † ends|
