A partire dalle forme

In the Beginning of the Forms (A partire dalle forme).—

Their genesis, all genesis,
They lost, all lost—for they include all.—
The earth and every thing in it,
The wave, the snake, the babe, the landscape, the human head,
Things, faces, reminiscences, presences, conditions, thoughts
such tallyin the soul to and make definite a divine in distinct, spiritual delight in the Soul.—
Of the arts, as music, poems, architecture, outlines, and the rest, they are in their way to provokethis delight out of the soul,
They are to seek it where it waits—for I see that it always patiently waits.—
Have you sought after [for?] the inkling?
Have you wandered far after yourinkling of the meanings of theearth? You need not wander...
Behold those forms.—
