1296
Yesterday he gave upThe spiritual life totally.
He promised himself
That he would never think of God,
Or speak about God,
Or even look at God
If God appeared before him.
Today he hears from everyone
That God has made him
His choice instrument
To shatter the doubts
Of all human beings.
Now he says to himself,
“Alas, good news has come
At such a wrong time!”
