Aha n.5: interior dungeon
(Ovid, Tristia; J. Conrad, Heart of darkness)
no light, rather darkness visible
(J. Milton, Paradise lost)
orbis ultimus here it’s the last world,
a terra terra remota
mea a land so far from my old land
seemed to led
into the heart of an immense darkness,
deeper and deeper
into the heart of darkness —
quocumque...everywhere
nihil est nisi mortis imago
only death’s faces
I could see the glitter of her eyes
full of tears — of tears that would not fall
illa dolore amens she, in a fit of dispair
tenebris narratur obortis semianimis
media procubuisse domo slumped down,
being covered her eyes with darkness
...du calme. Adieu
Note
The Sanskrit term aha embraces all the letters of the
alphabet
in her depth, symbolically embracing the whole
universe.
