That the shades of holy men
Who have failed, being weak of will,
Pass the Door of Birth again,
And are plagued by crowds, until

When we are dead, beyond the setting suns,
A little from other shades apart,
With mingling hair, and play upon one lute.”

Higher and higher he lies
Above me in a blue light
Shed by a tinted window.”
