What Do I Know?
I want to share with you a poem I have discovered, written by an Australian poet who, being very obscure, I recently discovered.
What Do I Know?
What do I know? myself alone,
a gulf of uncreated night,
wherein no star may e'er be shown
save I create it in my might.
What have I done? Oh foolish word,
and foolish deed your question craves!
Think ye the sleeping depths are stirred
though tempest hound the maddened waves?
What do I seek? I seek the word
that shall become the deed of might
whereby the sullen gulfs are stirred
and stars begotten on their night.
Christopher Brennan (1870-1932)
