about

Translation of a poem by Combet about St Anthony who considers human nature and the unity of all.

lyrics

I sought only to meet myself I made myself welcome
there in that part of me
which thus far my consciousness could not penetrate
the man that I was laid naked the woman that I was.

Turn as I might in evr'y worldly direction
the night traced all the while the arc of its circle
I was one and the same body one and the same body now.

Man enamoured of himself in his femininity
woman enamoured of herself in her virility
I had absolutely no need to imagine a woman by my side
any more than I needed to evoke the landscape of the outside world
to feel myself rooted within it.

The realms of nature may intermingle and recombine
the hybrids thereof seek a soul and a name
The great madness thereof affects me no longer

I have found my heart's place
this place that I thought I had lost
and that I had never quitted
I keep myself together in the cloistered garden of one word
which is the name of my God and of my love
all the rest is a mirage

I have found my heart's place this place
that I thought I had lost
and that I had never quitted
I keep myself together in the cloistered garden of one word
which is the name of my God and of my love.
