Novalis's Valentine

'The truly moral person is a poet’
but not every poet is a truly
moral person perhaps he speaks
of a higher poetry whose lines
are human work and actual
words that rhyme with reality
whatever that’s imagined to be
implying true morality is artful
free and open to the mystery
of the unknown unknowability
that may yet speak to us
from some remote location
deep within the text
where truth and time are one
in words’ annihilation
