And yet, and yet
To know the poverty in which all things begin and end
To kneel at wholesome altars and confess
To be empty so as to be full
Say yes to this and offer the infinite silence
The silence of submission
Without this nothing is whole
Without this nothing can be gained
You ask for more?
There is nothing more
More than this cannot be attained to
And nothing should be attempted
