Song
of the Great Mind
[Excerpt]
by Uri Zvi Greenberg That mind - the small one - is soft, like a pullet; it is afraid of space and it loathes the dimensions of the sea; it is a forest firefly at night, a tavern's splinter of light in the meadow-night to the eyes of the carter as sluggishly through the dust he drives horse and cart, and yawns. Such is that mind - the small, the poor one - that serves the peddlar on his daily rounds; and that twistedly scorns visions of glory. It goes through our streets near the low roofs, licking the moss of days, drinking from drainpipes, seeing in every cur a kind of wolf or tiger. That mind - the great one, the one winged with light, the supreme ruler, the high king - (from the time the people inhabited their lands and waters, and the king from his throne beheld the mountains of Moab) is not here. It sits in its nest forgotten, but it lives. I sing to my people: Remember the eagle! Bid it come, and it will come, to show you the place of passage that leads from here, the swamp of dream... to the meaning. |
