A Man, A Cloak, a Gondola,
A Subterranean Sea.
These Four recurring Elements
Compose a Mystery.
I draw him many, many times
Boating on that Sea.
And beneath his slippr’y boat
An eel with dagger teeth.
I don’t know how this imagery
Is always in my mind.
Perhaps it is a forewarning,
A vision of some kind.
A Man, A Cloak, A Gondola,
A Subterranean Sea.
The Four recurring Elements
Compose a Mystery.

A religious philosopher said that the essential religious experience was awe - that the Mystery must remain unreduced to rational explanations in order to retain its power. This very lovely poem manages to awe and mystify. It also echos a good many mythological resonances. Truly impressive. And VERY well-written.
