We have to understand that we are not

The chosen ones whose word

Transforms the world by magic.

Our ways are not those that can

Bring the heavens down to earth,

That resounding angelic choir.

If we have applied ourselves at all

It is enough to guess that we are no

Prophets or examples, nor should be,

And so, because of this, we have become

Outsiders, heresiarchs, enemies-

A striking repute for the after-time.

The weavers of words can only

Weave the garments of humility.
