The face is a mask over a mirror. What are we looking for? What seeking? Each of us twists like a haunted river, Nor do we linger over another's grieving. Tell me of yourself, that I might become clearer; Your words are my eyes, your passion my breathing. The face is a mask over a mirror. What can I give you? What gleanings Of yourself can my poor words deliver?
