Accepted Answer

free figure
at the edge of all sleep
you hurtle down the senses
without any perfection
your freedom is your desire
the violence of your beauty
tears up all the bulls
entire landscapes are there
 
spilling the horizons
like a hurricane of errors
you pass
the impassable narrows
of the impossible
survive in the tremble
without making rubble

"In creating the universe, these gods must have known
What they wanted; they had to design it in advance:
Who gave them the molds and the examples?
Yes, who revealed to them the virtues of principles
and the diversity of their combinations?
 
They awaited the lessons of Nature!
So many ages gone by, before the dust
The countless bodies that form matter,
Moved by the shocks, under the influence of weights,
Multiple movement in accordance with the laws;
Grouped atoms made things spring up?
Time alone explains how these first bodies
Were able to meet this order, these harmonious chords,
And this march that finally melts and renews,
As you see it, the universal mesh.
 
“De rerum natura" Lucretia, 1st century BC.

Accepted Answer

"From time to time, in order that everything continues,
it is necessary to reverse the signs.
One of the highest paths of intelligence
is the one who knows how to recognize the metamorphosis of signs,
as well as the need to contribute to provoking them.
Although this penetrating lucidity is hardly without cost:
it appears similar to the privileged dimension of a hypothetical grace,
and most probably comes from the concentrated focus on increasing awakening. "
