"It is a funny sort of nihilism that believes in nothing except belief itself."

Enaiposha. (Which i named Nachash [#24]. )

"A nerve awry | knocks him earthward,
stutter-muscled. | With stick urgent
he knock-tests floor, | newly fearful,
strained pain-walker, | stricken poplar.

Weight of winters | wears the shoulders,
age like skybolt | so early met,
wasting soul-home. | On woe-mat he sinks,
now oldmost in hall, | whatever his years.

Then grief withdraws | its grim banners.
Truce is offered. | Then trust revives
in grip shoe-sole’d, | in gracious peace
for troubled flesh. | Yet troops linger.

To be hale is a high | heart’s-bliss for mortals,
but miserly brief | and merely held."
