Why, what are you? --I am the cry of the hungry mind. Why, what do you signify? --I am the knocker on a closed door. Why, what do you represent? --The owl which cannot see during the day. Why, what is your complaint? --The irritation of mind. Why, what is your life condition? --I am shut up in a dark room. Why, how long will your captivity last? --All night long. Why, what are you so eagerly waiting for? --The daybreak. Why, you are yourself the cover over the answer you want. |
