Life - I am of both your directions Existing more with the cold frost Strong as a cobweb in the wind Hanging downward the most Somehow remaining Those beaded rays have the colors I've seen in paintings - ah life they have cheated you... thinner than a cobweb's thread sheerer than any- but it did attach itself and held fast in strong winds and sindged by leaping hot fires life - of which at singular times I am of both your directions - somehow I remain hanging downward the most as both of your directions pull me. |

(fragmento
traducido del poema original)
Vida...
Existo en tus dos direcciones
Permaneciendo de algún modo,
Colgando hacia abajo casi siempre,
Fuerte como una telaraña en el viento,
Existiendo con la fría escarcha
Más que esos brillos en forma de gotas
Que he visto en los cuadros.
