Page 28 Yet how fashion this for your delight? How give it form and appearance without betraying The burning core when I do not know the burning core Except by the names I give it? Darkness, nothingness, total silence- Are not these also changed at that station? Are they not also given form and core by which to tell The core behind all things I tell this by the absence of a name I call the first cause the many-in-one But this is where language fails Only the dance will satisfy at this point Only the song of the heart’s ecstasy Will outlast the lesser dark Previous Page / First / Next * * * Cf. by Martin Burke : Reading Meister Eckhart II - This Singing Ground More works inspired by Eckhart ||| Eckhart Home
Yet how fashion this for your delight?
How give it form and appearance without betraying
The burning core when I do not know the burning core
Except by the names I give it?
Darkness, nothingness, total silence-
Are not these also changed at that station?
Are they not also given form and core by which to tell
The core behind all things
I tell this by the absence of a name
I call the first cause the many-in-one
But this is where language fails
Only the dance will satisfy at this point
Only the song of the heart’s ecstasy
Will outlast the lesser dark
