Creatura: we were put here to create. The word
Is the creation of creations -- both the hollows of its sound
And the meaning that fills them
And fulfills them. It is responsible
Both for and to the world in which
It is made and which it makes --
This is its double harmony
In sound and sense. The best words
Therefore are a worship whereby offerings
Are once more offered up,
Where what was gift is given
Back: the giving mirrors the gift,
Which is itself a mirror to mirror
The mirror of what is mirrored
(And thus the sound gives way to sight,
And what was earth falls into flight).
