peer agreement (net): +1I (In contradictions dark...) Explanation: In contradictions dark my soul stayed strong, My mind in fatal grappling never weakened. I love all dreams, all tongues are dear, And to all gods I dedicate my poetry. I've lifted up my prayers to Hecate, Astarte, As priest I've spilled the blood of sacrificial calves And later stood beneath the crucifixions, And praised that love as strong as death. I've been to the lyceums', academies' groves, Transcribed the sages' learned dicta there in wax, Was favored by them all as true disciple, But I loved only the intercourse of words. Among the statues on the isle of Dream, Like songs, I followed flaming paths and flameless ones, Bowing now to the flaring, and now to the fleshly, Now all atremble, foresensing phantoms. The murkiness of contradictions, oddly, I also came to love, And avidly began pursuit of fateful mixtures. All dreams are sweet to me, all words I cherish, And to all gods consign my lines.
