10 | Tonight, as I look up, the stars \ | ||
11 | hide themselves in shame. There is no moon. \ | ||
12 | The sky is black, like my desk, | ||
13 | |||
14 | nothing like a raven. The streetlights \ | ||
15 | look on the scene disinterested. \ | ||
16 | They have their own small gossips of the dark. | ||
17 | |||
18 | I came here to find the Lion, old \ | ||
19 | friend, but he will not show his flanks, his \ | ||
20 | paws, his shoulders, his mane. I | ||
21 | |||
22 | can hear him laughing from his hiding-place \ | ||
23 | behind the moon, nonexistent, under \ | ||
24 | the cold dead earth. The mountain is in front | ||
25 | |||
26 | of me now, a hole of stars daring me \ | ||
27 | to pierce it with my sight. The lion's still \ | ||
28 | laughing; the streetlamps talk about | ||
29 | |||
30 | me amongst themselves, and go out. There \ | ||
31 | never was any lion, they tell me. \ | ||
32 | You only hear the wind on the mountain. | ||
