Wisdom and knowledge

are the winds on which

he rides.

 

One thing, above all,

he has learned;

no god is all-wise.

 

He has cast me down,

extracted oaths.

 

He has lifted me up

and enlightened me.

 

He has released me

and set me on my path.

 

His single eye is a blue star

blazing in space.

I do not understand him.

His purposes are

inscrutable as mist;

he knows the worlds

must move on,

yet ever seeks

to avert the cataclysm,

the day of doom

and his own

inevitable twilight.
