第5期 焚毁的诺顿(5)

Here is a place of disaffection

Time before and time after

In a dim light: neither daylight

Investing form with a lucid stillness

Turning shadow into transient beauty with slow rotation suggesting permanence

Nor darkness to purify the soul

Emptying the sensual with deprivation

Cleansing affection from the temporal.

Neither plenitude nor vacancy. Only a flicker

Over the strained time-ridden faces
