DANTE’S CAVE, Fiona Sampson, England
Dante’s Cave
Velika Dolina, Skocjan
Finally I came
to the end of the world
to a limestone cliff
falling in pale steps
and far below a pool
somehow out of myth
proving that there
was nothing but the rock
to hold me up to raise me
into that clear air
where crows were looping where the eye
of God was gold
and inattentive then
I saw the end is air
and falling it is clean
and lovely it is blue.
