Adonis, from ‘Transformations of the Lover’, The Pages of Day and Night (trans. Samuel Hazo)[Text ID: “My clothes abandoned me, and darkness clothed me.The world made its home within me and said,‘Descend deeply into darkness.’So I entered darkness itselfand saw a stone, a light, sands, and running water.I met myself in you and said,‘I will never leave this darkness.’“] -- source link
