Obscurity by Cyprian Norwid You protest the obscurity of my speech, – Have you yourself ever lit a candle? Or did your servant always bring you Light? … watch – for I know you well. A wick, lit with a spark, burns down And warms the wax, which rises like a ball At its pole, the flame suddenly drowns; Its Light is wan – a fading glow – Quick – quick, you think it will die, as From below the hot liquid drowns the light – It’s faith you need – ash and spark are not enough… Have you faith? … then watch – watch it blaze!... Such are my words, o! my fellow man, Yet you stint them one meager moment, Ere, first kindling epoch’s chill, They cast a flame into the skies, in atonement… upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Cyprian_Kamil_Norwid_-_Daguerrotype.jpg/220px-Cyprian_Kamil_Norwid_-_Daguerrotype.jpg
