THE REPORT

“… they constitute a mass of uneducated and dogmatic, indolent and selfish spirits,
who still do not observe or know why they live.”
[… that's how he saw it, wrote it down, and left]
… since then, the sharpener of centuries and knives passed by and fled from them;
against their illness and usury, not only the healer of wounds passed by but the maker of sounds,
whom they violently expelled, smashing his oboe and harp;
the peddlers of gold passed by and sold them nothing because they were poor
and did not know about the fire of the spirit;
and of course, the war passed by, and the undoer of stories and wrongs, and also the plague,
and nothing;
… not so long ago, watching and listening at midday,
the sun remained silent as if an accomplice of horseflies and flies,
for nothing, nothing moved;
Therefore, thus, thus the world sounded, after the passing of kings, tyrants, bandits, and death,
exactly the same as the day before yesterday and yesterday at ten in the morning and at four and five in the afternoon;
... and how do they accept the night? Ah, ah, their cross...
their natural law is the night;
but, despite everything, the worst, the worst for their masters,
is the existence and hard science of the formless.
