Description
paradise is a word & it is wine of my mind . the world is a tavern & my body is a cup & my soul is wine , sky is an inverted bowl & we should live happily on the earth because earth is like a merry go round . Be sure , the world is not a bridge to paradise, is not a tree & we are not their fruits
Lyrics
We are no other than a moving row Of Magic Shadow-shapes that come and go Round with the Sun-illumined Lantern held In Midnight by the Master of the Show; Some for the Glories of This World; and some Sigh for the Prophet's Paradise to come; Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, The brave rumbles of a distant Drum! The circle in which is that coming and going of ours neither its beginning nor its ending has been discovered. No one speaks on this issue rightly Saying where this coming is from and where the going is to YESTERDAY This Day's Madness did prepare; TO-MORROW's Silence, Triumph, or Despair: Drink! for you not know whence you came, nor why: Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where. This Universal wheel, this merry-go-round In our imagination we have found The sun a flame,in the Cosmic lantern bound We are mere ghosts, revolving, the flame surround Man is a cup, his soul the wine therein, Flesh is a pipe, spirit the voice within; O sweet faced, O cup bearer, have you fathomed what man is? A magic lantern with a light therei n! .
