So I shall surely look at the mountains and their people,
And at their pulpits with a hostile, sidelong glance.

You have kept mounting every upright thing,
Until you dared to mount the pulpit.

Your pulpit remains—the one you left behind
Yesterday—because of you, like a menstruating woman not yet pure.
