The smoke of error issues from the fire
of sin much as white smoke of truth fills up
the holiest of holies; just as wine
of violence to the truth helps swallowing
the bread of wickedness, just as the wine
of holy truth helps swallowing the bread
which is the good of love made part of us.
Just so does darkness cover up the deeds
of owls and satyrs in the cloak of night,
and light assist with baking loving bread.
