The express is hurtling at full speed, <br />the sun explodes into the sea, <br />my memories flash a millisecond, <br />and I bless you. <br />'May God bless <br />all your goodness, <br />your unresponsiveness, <br />and all your wickedness. <br />May your words of torment <br />return to you in benediction. <br />May your coldness <br />leap into flames. <br />All is at an end. <br />I have a thousand cares, <br />and for my folly <br />the bier is spread. <br />Well, I bless you, <br />and meanwhile <br />kiss me softly, <br />in silence and peace. <br />I wish to leave you <br />with a memory and a kiss <br />to freeze for warmth, <br />to be alone, <br />to feel alone, <br />to die alone. <br />May God bless you.' <br />The express is hurtling at full speed, <br />the sun explodes into the sea, <br />my memories flash a millisecond, <br />and I bless you.<br /><br />Endre Ady<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/benediction-from-a-train/
