[ begin page 112 ]ppp.00707.120.jpgTo one a century hence or any number of centuries hence,To you yet unborn these, seeking you.When you read these I that was visible am become invisible,Now it is you, compact, visible, realizing my poems, seeking me,Fancying how happy you were if I could be with you and become your comrade;Be it as if I were with you. (Be not too certain but I am now with you.)
