9 OF THE 9

A SEEKER OF SILENCES AM I, AND WHAT TREASURE HAVE I FOUND IN SILENCES THAT I MAY DISPENSE WITH CONFIDENCE? IF THIS IS MY DAY OF HARVESTS, IN WHAT FIELDS HAVE I SOWED THE SEEDS, AND IN WHAT UNREMEMBERED SEASONS?
IF THIS INDEED BE THE HOUR IN WHICH I LIFT MY LANTERN, IT IS NOT MY FLAME THAT SHALL BURN THEREIN.
EMPTY AND DARK SHALL I RAISE MY LANTERN,
AND THE GARDIAN OF THE NIGHT SHALL FILL IT WITH OIL AND HE SHALL LIGHT IT ALSO.
