I DO BEST ALONE AT NIGHT
Late Arrival on the Earth. (Robert Bly & Christina Paulston), Rapp & Carroll, London, 1967, p. 41; Recitation: Robert Bly
I do best alone at night
alone with the secrets my lamp has
set free from the day that asks too much
bent over a labor never finished
the combinations of solitaire. What then
if the solitaire always defeats me
I have the whole night. Somewhere
chance is sleeping in the cards. Somewhere
a truth has been said once already
then why worry? Can it ever
be said again? In my absentmindedness
I will listen to the wind in the night
to the flutes of the corybants
and to the speech of the men who wander forever

The Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf is a classic modernist in nordic literature, who say NO, to the institutionalize religion, social structure and science.
He believe in the lonesome man and the art of the impossible, turns to a virgin who is childless and mother of all.
Introduce surrealism to Sweden in the 1930s, and work from modernism through the romantic and nonsense towards a figurative classic timelessness.
Learned poetry, often dreamed, based on classic, Chinese, Indian, Arabic, Greek and Latin thought, mixed with experience from travels to the Mediterranean.
This sites intention is to motivate absorption in the works through translation and bibliographic pin down of attach literature...
