Sol 6.1

  1. I saw him with the mirror in his hand,

    as though it were a sun-disc upon a king.

  2. So I said to the image that had hidden itself,

    not out of indifference to us, nor piety:

  3. “O you who, of all people, most resemble the beloved, will you not

    tell us about yourself, without lying?”

  4. He said, “I am the full moon; I have visited your full moon,

    and this is a piece of the celestial sphere.”

  5. I said, “But I see tarnish on it.”

    So he said, “This is a remnant of the celestial weave.”
