First lines
To begin, pause over the pure and cleft rose, pause over the source of sky and air and earth, the will of a song with explosions, the desire of an immense song, of a metal that will gather war and naked blood.
Spain, water glass, not diadem, but yes crushed stone, militant tenderness of wheat, hide and burning animal.
