    a breeze blows letters<\/p>\n

    from his bronze hands<\/p>\n

    they float between the folds<\/p>\n

    of his poet's tunic<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    helplessly he tries<\/p>\n

    to find them again<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    he wants to write down his name<\/p>\n

    for a latecomer<\/p>\n

    who looks at him dreaming for a moment<\/p>\n

    but cannot find words<\/p>\n

    for so much beauty<\/p>\n
