Ons klein en silwrige planeet is ryker as die gode weet die koring is 'n heuningsel waaruit die goue aarde wel die wingerd is 'n sooi-geel bron wat uit die erts prut na die son ek sny die brood en drink die wyn en hou my hart van gode rein.

Die dye trek die dye aan die see leun teen sy strande aan die eensaam saad die soek sy voor die lig wil in die netvlies boor en als is enkeld, als verlang na heelal en na samehang en heel die driftige verband laat stort U oor U glas se rand

’n Donker kern in die lig en óm die lig ’n donker sfeer en al die straling is gestuit en rusteloos en gaan en keer en tas die duister mure af; en al die wêreldwande wíl trug in die kern stort en rus; en alles sterwe sterwe stil

My oë tas die wêreld af en hou ’n wonder glans gevang is so ’n web van dink en wens dat Wese na die Skyn verlang: die meeu vlieg oor die laaste woord; die wit seewater soos die wieg is sonder woord of antwoord skoon, en alle Diepte moet bedrieg.

My angs het ook geen sin; van geen belang dat ek dit andere in die ore hang. dié angs kom nogal voor op hierdie kerf, en sal wel ook tot niet wees ná die sterf.

Die gode is groot en eensaam in die nag en hang self soos geel vrugte aan die boom; maar ek tuur af in die smal skag van hierdie sonlig, en ek dink nie vroom: ek ken die laaste groot droom van my ras - my oë kan die sterreplas nie peil, en meer as Bloed, ja, is Betekenis - maar bloed is sigbaar, en die woord is yl.
