which had already pierced me once
before I had outgrown my childhood, struck my eyes,

I turned to my left with the confidence
a child has running to his mamma
when he is afraid or in distress

And not all our ancient mother lost
could save my cheeks, washed in the dew,
from being stained again with tears.”
