I am, O Anxious One. Don't you hear my voice
surging forth with all my earthly feelings?

don't you know that my prayer is growing ripe
upon your vision as upon a tree?

and I grow strong with all magnificence
and turn myself into a star's vast silence
above the strange and distant city, Time. — Rainer Maria Rilke
